Requires social media companies to establish toll-free telephone number for NJ account holders to report fraudulent account actions.
This bill (A 4101) requires social media companies with at least five million global users to provide New Jersey residents a free, 24-hour toll-free phone number to report fraudulent account activity, such as unauthorized access. Social media companies must publish this number in security emails sent to New Jersey users and on their platform’s homepage or help page. Non-compliance would violate existing consumer protection laws, potentially leading to penalties. The law directly affects New Jersey account holders and major social media platforms operating in the state.
