The bill amends Title 23 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically focusing on protection from abuse. It introduces new definitions related to social media, including "Post," which refers to sharing or distributing content on social media platforms, and "Social media platform," which is defined as an internet-based service that facilitates social interaction among users. Additionally, the term "User" is defined as a person who posts content on such platforms. These definitions aim to clarify the context in which social media is addressed within the law.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the provisions regarding relief in cases of abuse. It allows courts to issue protection orders that can include prohibiting defendants from accessing or utilizing social media platforms, as well as specifically prohibiting them from posting on these platforms. This addition emphasizes the importance of addressing online behavior in the context of domestic abuse and aims to enhance the safety of plaintiffs and minor children involved in such cases. The act is set to take effect in 60 days.
