- Injunctions may be issued against the person who made the communication, any social media company hosting or distributing the content, or corporate sponsors of the defendant if deemed in the interest of justice
- Filing of criminal cyberstalking charges can be considered as evidence of community standards violations, and a criminal conviction under Section 97-45-15 constitutes sufficient evidence for a permanent injunction
- Amends Mississippi's cyberstalking law to define "harass" as knowing and willful conduct directed at a specific person that a reasonable person would find seriously alarming, annoying, tormenting, or terrorizing with no legitimate purpose
- Internet service providers, search engines, and cloud service providers are exempt from liability when they merely provide access or connection to content they did not create
