HB1447

Mississippi Social Media Fraud Accountability and Consumer Protection Act aims to safeguard consumers from fraudulent advertisements on social media.

The Mississippi Social Media Fraud Accountability and Consumer Protection Act mandates that social media platforms implement robust identity verification protocols for advertisers, establish impersonation detection systems, and provide a user-friendly tool for reporting suspected fraud. Platforms must investigate and remove reported fraudulent advertisements within 72 hours. They are also required to publish quarterly transparency reports detailing the number of fraudulent advertisements reported, removed, and the average time taken to resolve them.
