A federal judge has temporarily blocked Florida’s new “Big Tech” law from being enforced, a major setback for one of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s top priorities this year.
In a preliminary injunction issued Wednesday night, Judge Robert Hinkle granted the request from online-industry group NetChoice in their suit against the controversial law.
“The plaintiffs are likely to prevail on the merits of their claim that these statutes violate the First Amendment,” Hinkle wrote. “There is nothing that could be severed and survive.”
