Creates the Social Media User Rights and Deletion Act
HB 3185, the Social Media User Rights and Deletion Act, requires large social media platforms (those with over $100 million in annual revenue) operating in the state to provide a clear, visible "Delete Account" button that allows users to permanently remove their accounts and all associated personal information. The bill mandates that this button must be immediately accessible within the platform, with a simple deletion process, and prohibits platforms from using deceptive design (like confusing menus or "dark patterns") to delay or block deletions. It also specifies that logging back into an account after requesting deletion does not cancel the request. Violations would be treated as unlawful business practices under existing consumer protection laws, with enforcement handled by the attorney general. The bill is currently in early legislative stages, having been introduced in February 2026.
