Two Pennsylvania state senators are seeking to pass a bill that would allow residents to sue social media companies that censor their content based on political or religious views.

Sens. Doug Mastriano (R-Gettysburg) and Scott Hutchinson (R-Oil City) sponsored state Senate Bill 604 (pdf), called the Social Media Accountability Act, that would allow individuals the ability to sue Big Tech social media companies like Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter for banning or censoring their account.
