From Vanity Fair, 7 March 2023:
Weighing in on a proposed Florida bill that would require bloggers writing about Ron DeSantis (or other elected officials) to register with the state, Gingrich tweeted: “The idea that bloggers criticizing a politician should register with the government is insane. it is an embarrassment that it is a Republican state legislator in Florida who introduced a bill to that effect. He should withdraw it immediately.” The bill, which was introduced by Florida state lawmaker Jason Brodeur, states that “If a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register with the appropriate office…within 5 days after the first post by the blogger which mentions an elected state officer.” And it doesn’t stop there!
First I heard of it.
