    Editorial: Leaf blowers and lawn mowers are smog machines. It's time for California regulators to act
    https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-05-12/leaf-blowers-clean-air
    This year, for the first time, leaf blowers, weed wackers, lawn mowers and other small off-road engines are expected to produce more smog-forming emissions than passengers cars. We must move to battery-powered options.

    Florida governor signs bill barring social media companies from blocking political candidates
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/05/24/florida-gov-social-media-230/
    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Monday that aims to punish social media companies for their moderation decisions, a move that Silicon Valley immediately criticized and likely sets the stage for potential legal challenges. The legislation would bar Internet companies from suspending political candidates in the run-up to elections. It also would also make it easier for the Florida state attorney general and individuals to bring lawsuits when they think the tech companies have acted unfairly. Legal experts and tech industry trade groups immediately raised concerns about the constitutionality of the law and warned that it gives the government too much power over online speech.

    Florida, in a First, Will Fine Social Media Companies That Bar Candidates
    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/24/technology/florida-twitter-facebook-ban-politicians.html
    The new law is a direct response to Facebook’s and Twitter’s suspensions of former President Donald J. Trump. Florida on Monday became the first state to regulate how companies like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter moderate speech online, by imposing fines on social media companies that permanently bar political candidates in the state. The law, signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, is a direct response to Facebook’s and Twitter’s bans of former President Donald J. Trump in January. In addition to the fines for barring candidates, it makes it illegal to prevent some news outlets from posting to their platforms in response to the contents of their stories. Mr. DeSantis said signing the bill meant that Floridians would be “guaranteed protection against the Silicon Valley elites.” A late amendment to the bill exempts companies from the law if they own a theme park or an entertainment venue larger than 25 acres. That means the law is unlikely to apply to websites owned by Disney, which operates the Walt Disney World Resort, and Comcast, which owns Universal Studios Florida.
