AI Summary

This bill, known as the Social Media Fairness Act, aims to address the issue of dominant social media websites (those with more than 75 million subscribers) censoring or disabling the accounts of individual or business users who are residents of Nebraska. The bill requires these dominant social media websites to provide written notice to users whose accounts have been suspended, disabled, or censored, explaining the reason for such action. Additionally, if the website's action would have violated the First Amendment had it been a government actor, the website owner or operator will be fined $100,000 per violation, with the fines collected by the Attorney General and distributed in accordance with the Nebraska Constitution.
