Prohibits selective suspension of candidates for elective office by social media websites.
This bill prohibits social media platforms meeting specific size thresholds (e.g., $100M+ annual revenue or 100M+ global users) from permanently or temporarily banning candidates for public office in New Jersey during election periods. It applies to candidates who qualify for office, including those who raise funds or withdraw, and requires platforms to provide a verification method using official election websites. Platforms must notify candidates if they provide free advertising space but do not consider standard candidate posts as "free advertising." Violations carry daily fines of $250,000 for statewide candidates or $25,000 for other offices, enforced by the Election Law Enforcement Commission.
