BECKY'S SHOCKER: Got to Give Credit When Credit Is Due. Yes, Even to Gov. Ron DeSantis. On This Issue I Agree With Him 100%.

Nikki Haley on Tuesday said she would force social media companies to end anonymity online, to combat hate speech. Her opponents derided the proposal as fascist. Ron DeSantis, who has seen Haley close in on him for second place behind Donald Trump, said it was "dangerous and unconstitutional."

The Florida governor said: "You know who were anonymous writers back in the day? Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison when they wrote the Federalist Papers. They were not "national security threats."

You want to combat hate speech? Hold the companies that host it accountable. When a person makes a threat, investigate and prosecute. Leave Constitutionally-protected free speech alone. SCOTUS would slap down Haley's proposal in a New York minute.

Very good, I agree with your idea of holding the companies accountable, 100%. It's all fine but what is a "New York minute"??
@helenS It’s an American expression for something happening very fast, usually in the context of consequences for something.

@LeopoldBloom Thank you 🌷🌷🌷
@helenS I assume from the stereotype of New Yorkers always being in a hurry, so a minute in New York is shorter than a minute anywhere else.

@LeopoldBloom I've never been there. I guess I have to go and check it out myself!
