Program Summary

California has recently enacted several content moderation laws. AB-587, AB 1628, and SB 1056 require social media platforms to make available terms of service, including policies on distribution of controlled substances through platforms, violent threats and describe their content moderation practices in annual reports. These laws are several among a patchwork of newly enacted social media content moderation laws reflecting an overarching desire to reduce or address the spread of harmful information in social media. Texas, Florida and New York introduced similar laws addressing content moderation practices.
