California Targets Social Media for Kids | San Antonio News

California just took a bold step to shield kids online—Governor Newsom signed two new laws cracking down on addictive social media features and holding platforms financially accountable. Starting January 1, sites must offer a kid-friendly version without infinite scroll or autoplay—or delete accounts for teens under 16. A second law lets families sue for up to $1 million if platforms harm children, forcing companies to prioritize safety over profit. This isn’t about banning social media—it’s about redesigning it for young minds who can’t handle its current design. And with other states watching closely, this California model could spark a nationwide movement to protect the next generation online.
