The bill, Assembly Bill 2, threatens up to $1 million per harmed child, but Meta’s plan could exempt them if they implement parental controls, privacy settings, and screen time tools. This isn’t new — they tried a similar tactic two years ago, which weakened the original bill. Now, they’re also lobbying Congress, while tech groups warn it violates free speech. The battle over kids’ online safety rages on. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
