California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law on Oct. 10 that allows individuals to seek court orders requiring social media companies to remove posts related to illegal drug activity.
Designed to stem the online flow of narcotics—including fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine—Senate Bill 60, authored by Sen. Tom Umberg (D-Santa Ana), provides legal authority for a court to order posts removed containing offers to administer, furnish, give away, import, sell, or transport any controlled substances regulated by California law.
