Subject: RE: Facebook restriction
Thank you for contacting our office about your experience with this social media platform.
A new law in Florida, Section 501.2041, Florida Statutes, would require that certain social media platforms provide users with notice if a user’s content or material is removed and provide users the opportunity to opt-out of certain algorithms that affect interaction with the platform. This law contains a private right of action which may allow individuals to sue for money damages and other relief. The new law is currently being challenged in federal court and it is uncertain whether it will be upheld.
If you feel that your rights have been violated, you may wish to consult with a private attorney for more information. The Florida Bar offers an attorney referral service which is available online at: https://lrs.floridabar.org/. Our office is unable to represent you individually or provide you with legal advice.
Our office relies on complaints such as yours to ensure businesses and others are complying with Florida law. We appreciate your taking the time to contact our office about this issue.
Sincerely,
OFFICE OF CITIZEN SERVICES

So What do you think of their response?
I'm just happy they responded. There is so much of this going on with conservatives on social media that I think they gave a good response under the circumstances. I thought the part about algorithms was interesting.
