DeSantis signs Digital Bill of Rights and Florida Privacy Law.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 262, creating the Digital Bill of Rights for Florida residents. The legislation requires large search engines to disclose whether they prioritize search results based on political ideology and prohibits government-led censorship. The bill also protects personal data control, the right to know how search engines manipulate results, and the right to opt-out of having personal data sold. The legislation also prohibits government employees from using their position to communicate with social media platforms to remove content or accounts from the platform.
