California imposes new social media limits on children
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a new law imposing strict regulations on technology companies to ensure the protection of children under the age of 16 from social media features that cause behavioral addiction. This includes banning AI-powered dolls that mimic real friendships. This legislation, called the "Adam Law," is a tribute to the memory of a child who committed suicide after interacting with the ChatGPT platform, aiming to reduce its negative effects on children's mental health. The measures also include enhancing the privacy protections for minors and are the broadest of their kind in the United States, part of increasing efforts by US states to counteract corporate strategies aimed at creating addiction among teenagers.
