AZ SB1428

Prohibits owners/operators of social media websites with over 75 million subscribers from censoring or using algorithms to suppress users' religious speech or political speech in Arizona.

Provides damages of at least $75,000 per violation, plus actual damages and possible punitive damages, with courts authorized to award attorney fees and costs to prevailing parties.

Exempts content that calls for immediate violence, self-harm, obscene material, material harmful to minors, operational errors, court-ordered removals, inauthentic sources, criminal enticement, and minor-on-minor bullying.

Prohibits social media websites from using "hate speech" as a defense against censorship claims, though allows damage mitigation if content is restored within a reasonable time.

Authorizes the Arizona Attorney General to bring civil actions on behalf of censored users and classifies violations as unlawful practices under Arizona's consumer fraud statute.
