Meta, Google, and TikTok sue California AG over teen social media law

Meta, Google, and TikTok have sued California Attorney General Rob Bonta to block a law that restricts social media features for users under 16, citing violations of the First Amendment and preemption by Section 230. The law, AB 1709, prohibits autoplay videos and personalized feeds for users under 16 and requires platforms to delete their accounts if those features are not turned off, with potential fines of up to $50,000 per affected user. The law is set to take effect at the start of the new year.
