Florida Governor DeSantis to Penalize Big Tech Companies for Unlawful Practices

He said that over the years, “these platforms have changed from neutral platforms that provided Americans with the freedom to speak to enforcers of preferred narratives. Consequently, these platforms have played an increasingly decisive role in elections and have negatively impacted Americans who dissent from orthodoxies favored by the Big Tech cartel.” …

Under the new measure from the Florida legislature, the technology companies that de-platform a candidate during an election will face a daily fine of $100,000 until the candidate’s access to the platform is restored.

It’s a start. Way to go, Gov. DeSantis.

I listened to the inaugural episode of Andrew Doyle’s new podcast, Culture Wars, in which he interviewed Bridget Phetasy, a fellow stand-up comic who also wrote for Playboy.

Ms. Phetasy asked whether the woke realize that they will get old and another generation — with their own crazy ideas — will come along to cancel them.

P&C drink and review Sierra Nevada’s Celebration Fresh Hop IPA, then talk about totalitarianism, authoritarianism, and fascism. Following up, they evaluate Rod Dreher’s “soft totalitarianism” from Live Not by Lies, but decide Dreher might have the wrong label.

Our culture is at a cross-roads. Is there time (or the will) to stop the growing tech-inspired soft authoritarianism?

Pigweed and Crowhill drink and review Old Speckled Han, a very nice English Pale Ale, then discuss all the nonsense about cops.

Is the central intent of policing to surveil, terrorize, capture and kill marginalized populations, specifically black folk? There are people in our society who are promoting that story.

The media, politicians and similar cretins keep feeding us a narrative that we have an epidemic of white cops killing unarmed black people. Is it true?

In this lecture, at about 4:30, Peterson mentions a correlation between the prevalence of infectious disease and authoritarianism. That’s interesting and scary.
