It is unlawful for a person to knowingly and willingly make, publish or circulate on an Internet Web site, or cause to be made, published, or circulated in any writing posted on an Internet Web site, a false or deceptive statement designed to influence the vote on either of the following:

(a) Any issue submitted to voters at an election.

(b) Any candidate for election to public office.

... Or just about anybody using social media
Wow, well I was on the fence when it came to leaving California. Now I'm absolutely certain I'll be leaving. You guys enjoy playing "pin the smugness on the echo-chamber".
