The legislation sponsored by state Attorney General Rob Bonta is necessary to bolster safety for children online. Supporters say it addresses mental health concerns related to social media use.
State officials haven't provided details on the bill, but Bonta said the warning labels could pop up once weekly, reinforcing the push for accountability from tech companies.
Bonta emphasized that companies know the harmful impact their products can have on children, asserting that it’s time for lawmakers to act decisively for change.
Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan highlighted that the attention economy exploits children's well-being, urging lawmakers to prioritize online safety rather than profit for big tech.
