New York's Stale Speech Suppression Playbook
Briefly

New York has recently enacted law S895B, requiring social media companies to disclose terms of service related to hate speech, extremism, and other contentious topics. This mandate includes the requirement for reporting content moderation practices, such as metrics on flagged content and enforcement actions, with penalties for non-compliance reaching up to $15,000 per day. The law, signed by Governor Kathy Hochul in December 2024, is seen as a significant move towards censorship under the guise of managing hate speech.
