The counter movement, against governors like DeSantis who went after Big Tech, has begun.
They're using a similar frame work as DeSantis' approach of fining Big Tech for censorship, just in the reverse direction.
Colorado put forward a bill, which, if passed, would allow them to fine websites up to $5000/day, for:
- hosting hate speech
- hosting information that undermines election integrity
- disseminating intentional disinformation
- hosting conspiracy theories
- hosting fake news
Of course, what constitutes each of these would be determined by the noble "fact checkers", or some similar organization.
In terms of election fraud, we seen the most evidence from Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and, Nevada.
Three additional states where some evidence leaked out of were Colorado, New Mexico, and, Virginia.
That's a conservative estimate for the states Trump won.
It's awfully convenient that in a state where there was fraud (Colorado), the politicians who benefitted from this fraud are trying to heavily penalize people who point out the fraud. It's committing a crime, and using the power gained from that crime to make it illegal (after the fact) for anyone to point out the crime you committed.

That is effectively censorship. Why we need an Internet bill of rights
I feel like the time is right for some smart networking and programming people to build a new decentralized wireless ad-hoc internet.
