DENVER — A mother who lost her son to a fentanyl overdose wants stronger protections for people acting illegally on social media, and a bill scheduled for discussion on Monday could do just that.
Among many things, SB25-086 would require social media companies to enact public policies for their platform and remove a user who violates them within 72 hours.
“Users who are posting the sale or availability of fentanyl or other illicit drugs or illegal guns or opportunities for young people to engage in sex would be, should be removed from the platform,” Chelsea Congdon said.
Congdon lost her son Miles Brundige, 19, on Nov. 8, 2020.
He was a sophomore at University of Colorado Boulder, suffering from a dislocated shoulder.
