State Sen. Jason Brodeur, GOP, has introduced a Bill in Florida that would prosecute bloggers who write about elected officials like Ron De Santis.
"If a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register with the appropriate office, as identified in paragraph..."
Did not the First Amendment prohibit laws abridging freedom of speech or the press? It is my understanding that states can not make laws that violate federal laws. I do not earn money from my blog due to no readers.
Does the proposed law apply to non-Florida resident Bloggers? What about a Canadian Blogger? The Bill is way too long and complicated for me to read it all ~ a lot about advertising properties for sale before getting to the part deciding we, the people, do not have the right o redress government for grievances.
