Colorado Newsline: Opponents of a Colorado bill that would require social media companies to remove users who try to sell drugs or guns to young people are hopeful that Gov. Jared Polis will veto the policy, arguing that it erodes First Amendment rights to freedom of speech.

Senate Bill 25-86 passed both chambers of the Legislature with a widely bipartisan vote. But in a statement last week, Polis said he has concerns over the bill’s impact on “freedom, innovation, and privacy.” His office of information technology testified against the bill as it went through the legislative process.

The bill was sent to his office on April 14, and he has until Thursday to sign or veto it. If it is vetoed, the Legislature would have time to vote on an override, which would require two-thirds of the body in support.
