Kentucky HB 455 — AI in Therapy and Psychotherapy Services (Advancing 2026)
HB 455, known as the Stop Social Media Censorship Act, aimed to restrict the ability of social media platforms to remove or moderate content based on subjective criteria. The bill sought to prevent platforms from deplatforming users or altering content visibility based on political bias or viewpoint discrimination. It targeted content moderation practices that could be perceived as censorship, particularly in the context of political speech and disinformation. The bill was introduced in the 2023 Mississippi legislative session but was ultimately rejected after dying in committee.
