The California Legislature has passed a bill that would prohibit social media sites from sharing content that sexually exploits minors, with fines ranging from $1 million to $4 million. It was sent to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk on Sept. 21.
The bill would require social media sites to allow minors shown in such posts the ability to delete them, and provide platforms 30 to 60 days after receiving a report to investigate such content and block it from reappearing.
