laws that impose restrictions on social media giants; 

You might like to know that FL republicans added a carve-out in this 2019 law just for Disney.
Think about that next time DeSantis is "attacking" them.
It's all just advertising for DeSantis' Presidential run at the taxpayer expense.
Grievance politics fuels the right >

Some key excerpts:

To date, Florida taxpayers have had to pay nearly $17 million to defend Ron DeSantis’ culture war agenda in the courts. He has lost far more than he’s won.
The Miami Herald reported:

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ political strategy has won national attention for his ability to shrewdly select culture war issues and use a compliant Florida Legislature to advance them. But while the agenda has drawn more than 15 lawsuits, it has so far yielded few legal victories, and cost Florida taxpayers nearly $17 million in legal fees to date.

The Republican has lost far more of these legal fights than he’s won. The Herald added, “In case after case, courts have scaled back, thrown out, or left in legal limbo rules and laws that impose restrictions on social media giants; limit voting; curb gender-related health care; influence speech in the workplace, college campuses and classrooms; and create new crimes for peaceful protests.”
In theory, Floridians should have a problem with this. After all, it’s their money, not his, which could be invested in priorities that actually benefit the state. But so long as his constituents shrug their shoulders, DeSantis will keep picking fights he expects to lose, basking in the adulation of Republicans at the national level who care far more about the governor’s willingness to push his crusade than his unfortunate win-loss record in court.
