It's not a personal penalty, it's a platform penalty. It's the platform that would get the penalties under this law. Still bullshit, but not how the poster seems to be claiming it will be. Individual posters would not be fined under this law.
What that will result in, though, is California being able to censor free speech via fiat, nationally, on any platform that bends the knee, which we know FB and MS and others are going to do immediately, and X, Truth, and Gab are not.
It's still censors online speech because now the social media platforms will be banning everything they "think" California will fine them for, regardless of whether it originated in California or somewhere else. Forcing the corps(es) to ban it or face punishment is just a slick, sleazy politician's way of banning something and still be able to hide behind the U.S. Constitution.
Someone in California is going to have to sue that State and take this all the way at to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Yes. Regardless, individuals will not face fines.

DeSantis is not going to let NEWSCUM to get away with it, at least Florida will not.
Agreed. But it's worth noting nonetheless.
