SB 771 — Personal Rights: Liability: Social Media Platforms

SB 771 aimed to address the liability of social media platforms concerning content that could harm minors or contribute to self-harm and suicide risks. The bill sought to impose legal obligations on platforms to mitigate risks associated with harmful content, particularly targeting child safety and mental health concerns. It was ultimately vetoed by the governor, and the veto was sustained. The legislation reflects growing concerns about the role of social media in exacerbating mental health issues among minors.
