Allows persons who are targets of violent posts to seek court orders requiring removal of the violent post and any related violent posts the court deems appropriate.

Requires persons to notify the social media platform through its reporting mechanism and wait 48 hours before filing a court action, unless the platform lacks a reporting mechanism.

Authorizes courts to award court costs and reasonable attorney's fees to prevailing plaintiffs, and may award fees to defendants if the plaintiff's case was not brought in good faith.
