DeSantis on the CDC Orchestrating Censorship: ‘Unconstitutional for Them To Be Delegating Speech Restrictions to Companies’

EXCERPT:

DeSANTIS: “And what were we discussing? We were discussing whether there’s any scientific basis to force a school child to wear a mask for eight hours a day. They all agreed there was no basis to do it and that you should not have school mask mandates. YouTube thought that that was 'anti-science' and that it should be taken down. But even at that point, we had already had enough experience in Florida where you had some schools that had done it before, before the state banned the mandates. You had some schools that had done it, some schools didn’t, and the results were no different. And yet his video was taken down by Google, YouTube. So it was a huge, huge problem. And yes, I think the federal government, FBI, DHS, any of the health agencies, it’s unconstitutional for them to be delegating speech restriction to a private company. You can do indirectly what the Constitution would clearly forbid you to do directly."
