Summary
California kicked off its first Social Media Victims Awareness Day with a rallying cry: outdated federal law must change. Lawmakers and parents are demanding updates to Section 230, the 1996 internet shield that now lets tech giants dodge responsibility for harmful content — especially targeting kids. Heartbreaking stories of online exploitation are fueling calls to phase out Section 230 over two years, forcing companies to collaborate on safety. While Washington pushes the Kids Online Safety Act, California moves fast with its own proposals, including banning addictive features for teens under 16 — all part of a growing national push for accountability and digital safety.
