Former President Donald Trump on Sunday called on state governments to 
pass legislation penalizing big tech companies who “silence conservative 
voices” if congress fails to do so.

Trump raised the issue while speaking at Florida’s Conservative Political 
Action Conference, directly challenging Republicans at the federal level 
to repeal Section 230 of Communications Decency Act, which provides a 
legal shield to tech companies for content on their sites.

“If the federal government refuses to act, then every state in the union, 
where we have the votes — which is a lot of them — big tech giants like 
Twitter, Google and Facebook should be punished with major sanctions 
whenever they silence conservative voices,” the former president said.

Trump noted some states — including Florida — are already taking action.

“Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, and in Texas, and in other states are 
doing this,” he said.

“If they do what they’re doing, Florida — and that legislation will pass — 
and Texas and others will have tremendous power to do what’s right and 
what’s fair,” the former president said.

DeSantis earlier this month proposed the Transparency in Technology Act to 
protect social media users and hold companies accountable for censorship.

The governor suggested fines of $100,000 per day for de-platforming 
political candidates, as well as daily fines for any company “that uses 
their content and user-related algorithms to suppress or prioritize the 
access of any content related to a political candidate or cause on the 
ballot.”

DeSantis also called for allowing people to opt-out of content algorithms, 
requiring notification about changes in terms of service and providing the 
right of citizens to take legal action if these conditions are violated.

DeSantis announced that under his policy, the Florida AG would be 
empowered to bring cases against tech companies under the Unfair and 
Deceptive Practices Act.
