S 463 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits the knowing and reckless promotion of unlawful or false material and providing remedies for the violation of such prohibition

This New York bill prohibits individuals or platforms from knowingly or recklessly promoting content that advocates violence, self-harm, or false medical information likely to endanger public safety. It specifically targets content promoted through algorithms that prioritize it beyond chronological order, requiring the promoter to know or reasonably foresee the harm. Violations are declared public nuisances, allowing the state attorney general or affected parties to sue for injunctions, damages, or restitution. The law applies to anyone creating, maintaining, or contributing to such harmful content conditions.
