NetChoice, CCIA Ask Court to Quickly Block Fla. Social Media Law

Internet industry groups added a motion for preliminary injunction to their lawsuit challenging Florida’s social media law that makes it unlawful for sites to deplatform political candidates and requires sites be transparent about policing. NetChoice and the Computer and Communications Industry Association sued May 27 (see 2105270073). U.S. District Court in Tallahassee should stop the law before it takes effect July 1, the challengers said Thursday in docket 4:21-cv-00220-RH-MAF. “Expedited consideration is necessary because the Act would inflict immediate, irreparable harm upon Plaintiffs’ member companies.”
