TL;DR Summary

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a "Digital Bill of Rights" called the "Technology Transparency" bill, which gives Floridians control over their personal data, the right to opt out of having their personal data sold, and the right to protect children from personal data collection. The bill also prohibits government employees from using their position to communicate with social media platforms to remove content or accounts from the platform. The legislation drew heavy lobbying throughout the legislative session and was approved in a 110-2 vote by the House.
