About that proposed blogger law in FL

[grumpyduck]

that would require anyone blogging about those pricks in power to register with the state... easy solution in four steps:

1. Get with a blogger outside FL.

2. Send them the post and have them publish it under a fictitious "guest blogger" name.

3. Add a disclaimer, something like "The opinions in this post don't necessarily reflect those of the host of this blog. We are publishing it as a public service to a blogger in Florida who can't do it from there because those pricks in power don't believe in free speech."

4. Tell those pricks in power to go line up and fuck themselves on a door knob.

Easy peasy.

And maybe go beyond that and have a bunch of bloggers outside FL publish scathing posts under a "guest blogger" name with the same disclaimer. Probably drive those assholes crazy.

1. Pffft...do it yourself and take it to court.

ACLU would JUMP on this I would think.

2. Easy solution in one step...

Court throws it out as a blatant violation of the First Amendment.

3. This incursion into our constitutional rights needs to be met head-on.

Ask the germans in the 30's. Stop accepting, wiggling, niggling, excusing, appeasing.

Fight. Fascism. Head. On.

4. This needs to be challenged by major journalism.

Not some poor little bloggers just trying to make a living.

6. To me it sounds like a way for a...

poor little blogger to make some cash.

5. Oh, I agree with the above posts, but

it would still be fun to get on their nerves while the legal system crawls along.

7. If I were a Florida blogger, defiance would be the game

No just court would prosecute it.

8. The guy who proposed the bill is obviously sucking up to someone.

(we need a butt-kissing emoji )

9. So states can wave the 1st Amendment?

10. Apparently, there's a built-in loophole. You have to be PAID for it.

Me, I do it because it's FUN!

11. Maybe just a quick salute to those who gave us the First Amendment?

And, of course, keep an eye on what RW subversives in our own state legislatures may be up to.

12. Or just simplify things

Step 1: blog under a screen name so they have to jump through legal hoops to find you.

Step 2: When they demand to see your compensation records, laugh in their silly faces, "It's a BLOG, stupid! Nobody gets paid for those." You can try your step 4, but you'll need to specify their own door knobs. They're that stupid and ew.

Fini.
