TRI - 3/3/2023 - Reddit Rant - Never Make Florida Man a State Senator

https://www.wfla.com/news/politics/florida-bill-would-require-bloggers-who-write-about-governor-to-register-with-the-state/

For today’s Reddit Rant we travel to the wild world of local Florida News. Apparently there’s a state senator there who introduced a bill to mandate registration and fees for bloggers who write about the executive branch. Newspapers are excluded from this requirement.

As a rule, the First Amendment is first for a reason. I’ve never been a fan of credentialism, it stratifies society and creates unnecessary barriers to entry. Competition is requisite for a free society, especially in the marketplace of ideas.

This law is a bad idea.
