CA AB656

Social media platforms generating over $100 million in annual gross revenue must provide a clearly labeled "Delete Account" button in their settings menu, accessible via app, browser, or any other platform format

When users click the delete button, platforms must provide steps to complete account deletion including deletion of personal information, with verification limited to easy methods like two-factor authentication, email, text, phone call, or message

Platforms are prohibited from obstructing or interfering with account deletion, including through the use of dark patterns

Account deletion requests automatically constitute requests to delete personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018

Users logging back into an account after submitting a deletion request does not automatically revoke that request
