California just Passed UK Style Censorship Laws when Charlie Kirk was Assassinated, Applying Fines up to $1M to those who Say the “Hateful” things on Social Media

- The bill imposes civil penalties on social media platforms for content deemed hateful, with fines up to $500,000 for reckless violations and $1 million for intentional, knowing, or willful violations.

- SB 771 is worded in a way that says this is to protect against online harassment, particularly targeting historically marginalized groups, by allowing individuals to sue social media companies.

- California Senate Bill 771 (SB 771) was PASSED by both the Assembly and the Senate recently, and now awaits Governor Gavin Newsom's signature to become law.
