Bill > HB1753

This bill, known as the Hawaii Social Media Data Deletion Act, requires social media platforms that meet certain user or revenue thresholds (referred to as "covered platforms") to provide users with an easy way to delete their accounts and ensure that all associated personal information, including sensitive personal information (which covers data like social security numbers, financial account details, precise location, racial origin, health information, and more), is permanently erased. The bill prohibits these platforms from using deceptive tactics to make account deletion difficult and mandates that deletion be completed within 90 days of a confirmed request, with a 45-day archiving period, unless law enforcement intervenes with a valid legal process. The Attorney General is authorized to take legal action, including seeking fines and injunctions, to enforce these provisions, with the law set to take effect on July 1, 3000.
