Context. Sources on Florida's anti-boycott law and related bills (CS/CS/HB 1519, F.S. 215.4725, SB 1678) concern divesting public funds from companies that boycott Israel, not restricting social media posts.[3][5][6]
Context. The Florida Senate bill SB 1632 is discussed as enabling the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to label activists as domestic terrorists, which is not a social media ban on anti-Israel posts.[5]
Context. No source addresses a gubernatorial proposal to ban social media posts about Israel, and no fact-checker has examined this claim, so there is no affirmative contradicting evidence.[1][2][4][7][8]
