Users, many of whom are California, should have the right to truthful information about the product they're using (which, for a media product, includes the moderation policies of that media), and the state has a reasonable interest in ensuring that users get this information.
- nemo44x 3y agoNo they don’t. There is no case law or constitution or bill that says you have this right. You have no rights to this private property. The state can have all the interests it wants but we have laws including property laws. The state can’t just say it has an interest in something and then take it. This country was literally founded on principals opposing that! This law is illegal and it will be wiped away.

- PeterisP 3y agoWhat "rights to private property"? It's about information, not property, and it is well established that the state can "just state an interest" in truthfulness about products sold to its citizens and compel a manufacturer to list all the ingredients they use in making their product and put that information right on the packaging, even if they'd prefer to keep them secret. Asking a media provider to list their moderation principles seems to me pretty much the same as asking a soap manufacturer to list all the things they put in their soap; in both cases their right to do something in their product does not include a right to hide from the public (or worse, mislead them) about what exactly that product includes.
