National Religious Broadcasting Corporation (NRB) urges Florida The group’s general counsel said lawmakers on Monday opposed a controversial bill that “has the potential to weaponize the “law” wave of weapons of Christian broadcasters.”
Senate Bill 752The Conservatives have widely criticized that it will modify Florida’s withdrawal regulations that, if retraction or correction is issued, limits defamation and damages, forcing publishers to also delete online content containing misinformation.

“This legislation should now be temporarily violated. If the bill tries to address other issues, I would propose working with legislators or employees so that legal issues can be resolved without risking the unintended harm to broadcasters and publishers, many of whom share your worldview.”
