Requires social media companies to establish toll-free telephone number for NJ account holders to report fraudulent account actions.
This bill requires social media companies with at least five million global users to create a 24-hour toll-free phone number for New Jersey residents to report account fraud, such as unauthorized access. It directly affects New Jersey account holders (residents with social media accounts) and major social media platforms operating in the state. Companies must publish this number in security emails sent to NJ users and prominently on their platform’s homepage or help page. Non-compliance is considered a violation of New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act, subject to fines and enforcement actions. The goal is to provide a direct, accessible way for residents to report account security issues.
