Bill > S03711

This bill establishes the Internet Media Freedom Task Force to study the practices and policies of social media companies that allow the posting of third-party content by users, as well as other issues relating to the dissemination of such content, including forms of censorship employed by these companies. The task force will also examine the impact of social media on elections, including the ability of candidates and political parties to access and use the platforms, and the use of censorship to benefit one candidate over another. The task force will hold public hearings, consult with relevant entities, and issue a final report with findings and recommendations for changes to state or federal law, and to executive agency policies, actions, and procedures related to the use of and access to social media.
