Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 3273.69 of the Civil Code, relating to online safety.

AI Summary

This bill makes a minor, nonsubstantive change to existing California law that requires social media platforms to have a way for users to report child sexual abuse material, especially if the user is depicted in it, and to collect contact information from those reporting users. The change specifically modifies a section of the Civil Code that states the provisions of this title are severable, meaning if one part of the law is found invalid, the rest can still stand. The bill simply changes the wording from "any provision" to "a provision" in this severability clause, without altering the core obligations of social media platforms regarding child sexual abuse material.
