X Challenges California Law on Content Moderation Disclosure in New Lawsuit

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : One year ago, Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 587 into law, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in understanding how these platforms influence public discourse and shape the content we encounter on social media daily.
50% : He emphasized that the law does not impose specific content moderation policies but rather mandates companies to openly disclose their content moderation approaches.
43% : They argue that AB 587 seems designed to pressure companies like X Corp. into removing, demonetizing, or deprioritizing content protected by the Constitution. X asserts that the true intent of the law is to compel social media platforms to eliminate specific constitutionally-protected content deemed problematic by the State.
