UK Style California Speech Law Directed @ Social Media Platforms

California is quite literally trying to influence a social media speech policy for the entire country, as they target online large, online platforms who make over $1M per year who promote in their algorithms “hate speech that leads to violence or harassment”. California will deem what is or isn’t hate speech for all of us, targeting violators with up to $1M fines.

“HOLY CR*P

The day Charlie Kirk was killed and everyone was focused on that, Gavin Newsom and California Democrats rammed through an online censorship bill

PENALTIES

- If you post something on social media anywhere online that the state of California deems to be hateful, there's a penalty for that reckless violation, a civil penalty of up to $500,000.
- For an intentional, knowing or willful violation, a civil penalty of up to $1 million

“SB 771, passing the Assembly on September 10th, 10 days ago. Then on September 16th, passing the Senate completely under our noses, which means right now, all that stands between complete statewide government censorship is Gavin Newsom's signature”

“I exaggerating about how bad this bill is? No, I am not. Here is the actual bill. You can pull this up yourself on the state's website.

The Bill's called SB 771. It's called Personal Rights Liability, Social Media Platforms.

In Section 2, Title 23 of the Bill, it defines the penalties for breaking this new California law

- If you post something on social media anywhere online that the state, the State of California deems to be hateful, there's a penalty for that reckless violation, a civil penalty of up to $500,000
- For an intentional, knowing or willful violation, a civil penalty of up to $1 million.

That is the definition of the state controlling speech, folks.

— What type of speech is California trying to police here? Well, let's read from the Bill. It says, "This bill protects against online harassment, particularly when directed at historically marginalized groups."

“the State of California's actively passing UK style laws that will fine you for saying the wrong thing. Pretty wild. And this bill is completely done, folks. It's passed in the House, it's passed in the Senate. All that's left is Gavin Newsom signing it into law”

This is all 100% true, he even clipped screenshots from the bill and put it into the video as proof”

📞 To contact Governor Gavin Newsom regarding Senate Bill 771 (SB 771), Californians are urged to call his office at (916) 445-2841 and insist on a veto to preserve innovation and free expression and the concept of protecting “historically marginalized groups” which is in conflict with equal protection under the law, for all Americans.
