Mississippi
Mississippi is one of at least six states considering legislation that forces companies to provide transparency reports surrounding their content moderation decisions. As Politico notes, Texas and Florida’s anti-deplatforming laws incorporate these types of reports into their own texts. Mississippi’s version specifically is called the Social Media Accountability, Responsibility and Transparency Act of 2022. In addition to numerous carve-outs requiring social media companies to post their content policies, the bill also explicitly requires social media companies to include, “an annual transparency report on its website outlining actions taken to enforce the [content] policy.
