HB62, known as the Social Media Anti-Censorship Act, requires social media platforms to develop an acceptable use policy that informs users about content violations, compliance steps, and appeal rights. The policy must be easily accessible. Platforms must notify users and allow appeals when content is removed for alleged violations. Exceptions apply if the content relates to an ongoing law enforcement investigation. Additionally, platforms must publish a biannual report detailing instances of content removal, categorization of violations, and outcomes of user appeals.
