Social media platform Rumble is suing New York over a law set to take effect on Dec. 3, alleging it’s illegal.

The measure requires platforms to “provide and maintain mechanisms for reporting hateful conduct on their platform,” and empowers New York’s attorney general to assess a fine of up to $1,000 per day on platforms that do not comply.
