HB5230

Social Media Data Clean Slate Act mandates clear account deletion options for social media platforms.

The Social Media Data Clean Slate Act requires social media platforms to provide a clear and conspicuous button for account deletion. Upon clicking the button, the platform must guide the user through the necessary steps to delete their account and personal information. The act prohibits platforms from obstructing or interfering with the deletion process, including avoiding the use of dark patterns. It also mandates that service providers and contractors comply with deletion requests unless it proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
