Bill overview
This bill updates California’s laws regarding child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on social media platforms. It simplifies the reporting process by removing the requirement that the reporter be depicted in the material and clarifies that the depicted individual must be a minor. The bill also mandates that social media companies review reported material through a hash matching process and ensures a human review is conducted when necessary, while also increasing penalties for non-compliance and shifting audit requirements to third-party assessments.
