Existing constitutional law establishes the right of freedom of speech. Existing case law interpreting those provisions applies varying levels of scrutiny to state action that restricts protected speech, and classifies specific types of speech as unprotected speech, including, but not limited to, obscenity, incitement of imminent lawless action, and true threats, which are given lesser or no protection under the First Amendment. This bill would require a social media platform located in California, as defined, to develop a policy or mechanism to address content or communications that constitute unprotected speech, including obscenity, incitement of imminent lawless action, and true threats, or that purport to state factual information that is demonstrably false.
