Summary
California just passed groundbreaking new laws to shield kids online, with Governor Newsom signing sweeping measures targeting social media and AI. Key provisions include banning addictive features for users under 16, boosting privacy protections, and introducing “Adam’s Law” — the first in the nation requiring crisis response plans, parental controls, and mandatory safety audits for AI platforms. Named after a teen allegedly harmed by ChatGPT advice, this law also mandates parental notifications if kids attempt to disable safety settings. These rules come amid rising scrutiny of tech giants like Meta, which agreed to massive settlements over addictive platform designs. Governor Newsom is now pushing for federal standards that balance innovation with child safety, signaling a major shift toward corporate accountability in the digital age.
