The legislation introduces stricter measures to limit children’s exposure to harmful content and requires platforms to implement stronger safeguards. Critics argue the laws could impact free expression, while supporters highlight the urgent need to shield young users from exploitation and misinformation. The move places California at the forefront of state-level efforts to regulate online environments for younger audiences.
