AR HB1647

Establishes the Arkansas Unfair Social Media Censorship Act to regulate how interactive computer services (social media platforms) moderate content and take actions against users.

Defines "good faith" requirements for social media platforms taking censorship actions, declaring actions unlawful if they are dubious, inconsistent with terms of service, selectively applied, or undertaken for purposes of demonetizing, banning content, labeling, or restricting access.

Provides exceptions allowing platforms to remove content they reasonably believe is patently unlawful (including obscene material, child sexual abuse material, human trafficking, drug trafficking, cyberstalking), subject to court orders, or promoting terrorism or violence.

Classifies violations as unfair and deceptive trade practices enforceable exclusively by the Arkansas Attorney General with all available remedies under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

Requires interactive computer services to publish quarterly statistics on content moderation actions, appeals filed, and appeals granted; establishes affirmative defenses if violations are cured within 10 days or if platforms can demonstrate compliance with plain, conspicuous terms of service and provided meaningful appeal opportunities.
