It was in civil, but dealt with in personam jurisdiction for internet posts. Here the crux would seem to be whether the conduct was directed into Florida.
I think it's going to be difficult to argue that every post about a person in Florida is necessarily directed into Florida where the poster was in New Jersey and the site is hosted in California, especially where the subject of the post is a public official. Do my comments about DeSantis subject me to Florida Law? I don't think so.
I also question the long arm jurisdiction in a criminal context from a constitutional perspective. Land and boundaries matter. If they don't, a Texas sheriff could issue a warrant for Sheriff Chitwood's arrest for violation of Texas Civil Rights law because Sheriff Chitwood intended his conduct to chill speech in every state in the nation, including Texas.
