AI Summary

This bill, known as the Hawaii Social Media Data Deletion Act, requires social media platforms with one million or more monthly active users nationwide or that generate $25 million or more in annual gross revenues (referred to as "covered platforms") to provide users with an easy-to-find way to delete their accounts and ensure that all associated personal information, including sensitive personal information like social security numbers, precise geolocation, and health data, is permanently erased within 90 days, unless otherwise required by law or directed by law enforcement for an active investigation. The bill also prohibits these platforms from using deceptive practices that make account deletion difficult or require unnecessary additional information from users, and it grants the Attorney General the authority to take legal action, including seeking penalties, for any violations.
