California implements new social media rules for children
The governor of California has enacted a new law that restricts technology companies from endangering children online. It prohibits exposing children under the age of 16 to social media platform features that are designed to promote addiction or compulsive use. The law also bans the use of AI-powered dolls that mock relationships of friendship with cruelty, including extending penalties for digitally altered content or content created with artificial intelligence that depicts individuals under 18 in sexual contexts. These regulations are considered the most comprehensive in the United States, aiming to protect children from digital risks and promote their well-being, following the tragedy of a young person’s suicide that was influenced by conversations with an AI system.
