Gov. DeSantis Wants Facebook Investigated For Election Interference

The governor has asked the secretary of state to use all legal means to uncover any violations of the state's election laws.

The tech industry has been one of the governor's major targets since the 2020 election and former President Donald Trump's ban from Facebook and Twitter.
