Senate Bill AB 587 will require social media companies to publicly post their policies regarding hate speech, disinformation, harassment, and extremism on their platforms, and report data on their enforcement of the policies.
The newly signed legislation will also require platforms to file semiannual reports to the state’s attorney general’s office that will disclose their policies toward hate speech, extremism, and disinformation.
The state’s attorney general’s office is also required “to make all terms of service reports submitted pursuant to those provisions available to the public in a searchable repository on its official internet website.”
Last week, the state’s legislature passed the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, which will require social media companies to consider the physical and mental health of minors who use their platforms.
According to the Washington Post, several big tech companies and tech industry trade groups have filed lawsuits in Texas and Florida in an attempt to block similar social media regulatory laws enacted in those states.
The bill has also raised concerns from legal experts, citing First Amendment and free speech as their main issues.

Is this constitutional? Has Governor Newson created a Ministry of Truth?
“The bill is likely to be struck down as unconstitutional at substantial taxpayer expense. The censorial consequences should trigger the highest level of constitutional scrutiny, but the undue burdens and lack of consumer benefit ensures it won’t survive even lower levels of scrutiny!”

When the liberals at Santa Clara say it will be shot down, its half life might be very short.
So, a bill that requires a closer working relationship between social media businesses and the government.
Or, as Mussolini liked to call it, fascismo!
I am not seeing the problem here. If they post their policies it will be easier to see that they are not applying them uniformly.
There will be ammunition to fight back against the bannings.
What am I missing?
The problem, as I see it, is requiring speech platforms to be answerable to government.
Who decides what is hate speech, extremism, or disinformation?
Oh yeah the new commie Nazis...
If it were me deciding; this bill would be considered hate speech, extremism, and disinformation.
