AN ACT CONCERNING CYBERBULLYING.

SB 153 would require social media companies operating in the state to enforce minimum age limits for users, develop content filters to protect younger users from cyberbullying, and agree to allow the state to hold them liable for damages caused by cyberbullying on their platforms. This bill directly affects social media providers doing business within the state. Key provisions mandate age restrictions, the creation of protective filters for minors, and agreement to state jurisdiction for cyberbullying-related lawsuits. The goal is to strengthen online safety protections for young people without endorsing specific outcomes.
