This seems like a state mandated "book burning" when the state dictates how private media outlets/platforms must operate. Last I checked people are not required to read/post on anything. And anybody is allowed to start their own social media platform. Let me know if I'm wrong on this.
But my point is that when you start messing with people's social media they get pissed. Especially when it's government. Believe it or not politics is not the main reason people use private social media platforms. From my observations, social media is used mostly for recreational purposes. DeSantis actions certainly has the potential of disruption and/or reduction of services. Don't know if folks would like that.
But our biggest concern should be the precedent the DeSantis' actions might create. Think about that for a minute. Do you want Evers, Cuomo, Biden or Trudeau telling you how you must use social media ?
