Washington – Today the Computer & Communications Industry Association, with co-Plaintiff NetChoice, filed an amended complaint in district court explaining why Florida SB7072, a statute intended to force websites to display all content posted by third parties, is unconstitutional under the Supreme Court’s recent review of the lawsuit.
This “must-carry” law would prevent websites from exercising their First Amendment rights to choose what content to display to users, and in what manner, or face significant regulatory burdens and potential fines and damages.
For years, CCIA has been at the forefront of protecting online speech from governmental intrusion.
The following can be attributed to Stephanie Joyce, Senior Vice President and Chief of Staff:
“CCIA is continuing its fight to ensure Florida’s must-carry law is struck down. The government cannot force any speaker, be it a private citizen or a social media website, to say or disseminate speech against their will.”
