Often a bellwether in state-level regulation, California wants to force social media platforms to remove 'materially deceptive content'

One law, which took effect immediately, makes it illegal to distribute "materially deceptive audio or visual media of a candidate"

Genuinely fantastic.

in the 120 days leading up to an election and in the 60 days following an election.

…why would you restrict it like that..?
