    I really don’t see this going well for X. It’s highly likely they havent been even collecting the appropriate information on their own process at this point.

      They aren’t required to start until this quarter of this year. They’ve missed, at most, nine days of data.

      I hope the law runs them into the ground, however.

    If Twitter has nothing to hide, then they should have no objection to this bill.

    I can’t believe a lawmaker said this with a straight face. This was the same logic to pass the Patriot Act .

    This may be the one time I side with X. This seems like a massive first amendment right violation. Why did California choose to start now and not years ago when this became a problem. What constitutes a social media company? How will the government decide to regulate what is “controversial”. This law seems strange with a lot of gaping holes.
