From ThePostMillennial.com…
A New York state senator wants to punish social media companies over “harmful content,” and their definition of the phrase extends to any false facts that can be interpreted as endangering public safety. The bill does not provide an understanding as to the basis for making the determination that the information is “false.”
The basis of the bill is that social media companies would be forbidden from having content promoted that advocates things like use of force or self-harm, but also anything that “includes a false statement of fact or fraudulent medical theory that is likely to endanger the safety or health of the public.”
Our new legislation will force social media companies to be held accountable for the dangers they promote
