HB 2588 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in protection from abuse, further providing for definitions and for relief.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's protection from abuse laws to allow courts to issue orders restricting a defendant's use of social media platforms. It achieves this by first defining what constitutes a social media platform and a user, then explicitly granting judges the authority to prohibit defendants from accessing or posting content on these sites to prevent abuse. The legislation directly affects individuals seeking protection orders against alleged abusers and the social media companies themselves by creating a legal framework for their exclusion from court-ordered restrictions.
