Google, TikTok, and Meta are suing California to stop a law that bans “psychologically exploitative features” for kids under 16

Google, TikTok, and Meta have filed lawsuits against California to block the enforcement of a law that protects kids under 16 from psychologically exploitative features on social media platforms. The law, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, aims to safeguard minors from harmful online features. The tech giants are seeking to stop the law from being enforced.

The lawsuit has significant implications for social commerce, as it raises questions about the responsibility of social media platforms to protect their young users. If the law is enforced, it could lead to changes in the way social media platforms design their features and interact with minors, potentially affecting the social commerce landscape. The outcome of the lawsuit will be closely watched by the industry.
