AB 56

Bill Subjects

Social Media Warning Labels

Abstract

Existing law regulates social media platforms through various acts, including the Cyberbullying Protection Act that requires a social media platform to, among other things and subject to specified exceptions, disclose all cyberbullying reporting procedures in the terms of service, and the Online Violence Prevention Act that requires a social medial platform to, except as specified, clearly and conspicuously state whether it has a mechanism for reporting violent posts that is available to users and nonusers of the platform. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation relating to mental health warning labels for social media platforms.
