Florida is making hate speech legal, and if you attempt to punish someone for using hate speech against you.

That person can sue you for 35K.

@BlastBunny The Turd Reich will tolerate no speech that hurts the pillowy soft snowflake feelings of Dumbsantis and his minions of hate!

I’m not exactly sure how this would even be legal…

Like if I say something about you that’s not true

And you try to sue me for libel

I can’t magically come back and uno reverse card the lawsuit to sue you for libel per se

@BlastBunny @ITKV

I don't see this, if it's passed, standing up in court.

But it could still cause a lot of problems in the meantime.

@tyghebright @ITKV

Yeah I’m not at all sure how this is legal I r enforceable.

If I do libel against you

I can’t just uno-reverse card and charge you tor libel pro-se. even if the state changed the laws to allow this….it’s a classic violation of free speech.

Harmful speech has never been protected as free speech, the same reasoning would apply if I used my speech to motivate someone to violence or lie under oath.
