New Hampshire HB1589 establishes the Digital Choice Act to ensure data interoperability and user control over personal data on social media platforms.

New Hampshire HB1589, known as the Digital Choice Act, mandates that social media companies implement interoperability interfaces to allow users to share their social graph data between designated platforms. It requires these companies to use open protocols that are free from licensing fees and patent restrictions. Users have the right to delete their personal data and obtain a copy in a portable format. The attorney general is tasked with enforcing violations, which are considered unfair methods of competition.
