From the definition in the bill how a "Social media platform" is defined has no requirement to userbase, so wouldn't every Mastodon server and small self hosted message board have to submit to this too or face fines? https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB587 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...

>22680. This chapter shall not apply to a social media company that generated less than one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) in gross revenue during the preceding calendar year.

  So, before too long even Twitter won’t be affected.

      I don't think Twitch fits the other definitions, 22675(e)(2)(b) probably could be argued to not fit with Twitch.

I was about to type up a message about how this affects private services too, buuuuut... section 22680 pretty summarily removes self hosted instances. I doubt any of them are making $100,000,000 profit per year.
