The bill, filed quietly in late February as SB 1424, requires all California-based websites to develop a plan to fight "Fake news," to use "Fact-checkers," and to warn readers - including via social media - of "False information."
Any person who operates a social media Internet Web site with physical presence in California shall develop a strategic plan to verify news stories shared on its Internet Web site.
A plan to mitigate the spread of false information through news stories.
The utilization of fact-checkers to verify news stories.
Providing outreach to social media users regarding news stories containing false information.
Placing a warning on a news story containing false information.
The bill would arguably impose onerous costs on individuals and businesses alike, and would serve as a tool for censorship by subjecting dissenting opinions to review via "Fact-checkers."
