A federal judge declined to block California from enforcing a new law requiring social media companies to publicly disclose how they control content on their platforms and provide the attorney general with data on posts that contain “hate speech” and racism, extremism and foreign political interference.

“While the reporting requirement does appear to place a substantial compliance burden on social media companies, it does not appear that the requirement is unjustified or unduly burdensome within the context of First Amendment law,” U.S. District Judge William Shubb wrote in his eight-page order.
