Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a series of significant bills aimed at enhancing the safety of children in the digital age. These new measures focus on the growing concerns surrounding social media and artificial intelligence, recognizing the profound impact these technologies have on young users.
The legislation seeks to implement stricter regulations on social media platforms, ensuring that they prioritize the well-being of minors. This includes provisions for age verification and enhanced privacy protections, which aim to shield children from harmful content and online predators.
In addition, the bills address the role of artificial intelligence in children's lives, promoting transparency and accountability among tech companies.
