I'm actually curious what makes anyone think Florida has any jurisdiction? Are any social media companies based in florida, have offices in Florida or 'do business' in Florida?
I thought at least one of those had to be true to be bound by the laws of state?
Can Florida create laws that are enforcable over entities with no ties to Florida ?
Also, I like the 'move fast and break things' roller coaster idea!
- caeril 5y agoIANAL, but I do recall that when GDPR passed, The HN Zeitgeist was to tell everyone asking the same question with regard to enforcement on US entities by the EU, that you have to comply, end of story, stop asking questions.
- mech422 5y agoI thought the idea there was a lot of the big tech companies had offices in Ireland for tax bennies... and that was part of the EU ? Anyway, be interesting to see how it all plays out...

Past state AG efforts against national corporations indicates (to me) that actually being HQ'd in that state isn't necessary. of note: Twitter has an office in Miami. However: Regardless of how the state expected to enforce this, the 1A issue makes all of it a moot discussion.
- mech422 5y agooh - didn't know that... I suppose they'd have to stop taking advertising from Florida based entities as well, to be truly 'not doing business' in Florida.
