An act relating to prohibiting the use of certain social media platforms on State-owned devices and networks
This bill requires the Secretary of Administration to ban social media applications from State-owned devices and networks by September 15, 2023. It also mandates the creation of a regularly updated list of countries and entities that pose cybersecurity risks to the State, with updates required at least every six months. The law directly affects state employees and IT systems by restricting access to specific social media platforms and vendors from nations deemed to present unacceptable security threats. State officials must publish this list on the agency website to inform the public about which platforms and entities are prohibited.
