California imposes new social media limits for children
The US state of California has enacted a new law that restricts children's use of social media platforms, aimed at protecting minors and maintaining their mental well-being. The law includes a ban on exposing children under 16 to features of platforms that promote compulsive use or addiction, as well as prohibiting AI dolls that mimic friendships. Additionally, the law increases penalties for digitally altered content depicting individuals under 18 in sexual contexts, as part of efforts to enhance privacy and digital safety for children and youth. These measures are among the most comprehensive of their kind in the United States and seek to counteract the practices of tech companies that increasingly promote excessive social media use among teenagers.
