CA AB1628

Requires social media platforms operating in California to create and publicly post a policy statement on their website addressing the use of their platform to illegally distribute controlled substances, effective until January 1, 2028.

Policy statement must include a general description of moderation practices to prevent illegal drug distribution content, a link to mental health and drug education resources from government authorities, and a link to the platform's reporting mechanism for illegal or harmful content if one exists.

Requires platforms to include a description of their policies and procedures for responding to law enforcement inquiries, including warrants, subpoenas, and court orders for electronic communication information.

Exempts businesses that generated less than $100 million in gross revenue during the preceding calendar year from these requirements.

Platforms must update policies as necessary and consider consulting with nonprofits, safety advocates, and survivors when developing and supporting their policy statements.
