Google, Meta Platforms, and TikTok have filed lawsuits against California to block enforcement of Assembly Bill 1709, a law aimed at protecting children under 16 from addictive social media features. The law bans psychologically exploitative features like autoplay and personal recommendations for minors and requires deletion of affected accounts. The companies argue the law violates the First Amendment and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act by imposing state control over content presentation.
