An Act providing for social media platforms and for limiting censorship.
HB 62, the Social Media Anti-Censorship Act, requires social media platforms with over 50 million active U.S. users to publish clear acceptable use policies explaining content restrictions and appeal processes. If a platform removes content for policy violations, it must immediately notify the user and provide a 14-day appeal option. The bill also mandates biannual transparency reports detailing content moderation decisions. This law directly affects major social media platforms operating in Pennsylvania, aiming to increase transparency in content removal practices.
