Florida files appeal statement in defense of social media law, against injunction

( July 29, 2021, 01:05 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Florida has filed a civil appeal statement with the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in its fight to vacate an injunction granted by a federal judge blocking the state's social media regulation law.
