AI Summary
This bill would require social media platforms to provide a mechanism for California residents with accounts to report instances of "sexually explicit digital identity theft" - the posting of material that appears to depict an intimate body part or sexual act of an identifiable person without their consent. The platforms would be required to promptly investigate such reports, temporarily block the content while investigating, and immediately remove it if they determine it constitutes "sexually explicit digital identity theft" as defined in the bill. The bill also specifies certain exceptions, such as excluding end-to-end encrypted messaging services and platforms operated by non-profit organizations.
