California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 976 into law on Friday, aimed at protecting minors from social media addiction. The legislation, which will take effect in 2027, bans social media platforms from providing addictive algorithmic feeds to children without parental consent. It also restricts notifications to minors between 12am and 6am. The bill seeks to limit how and when social media companies can reach out to minors, ensuring that these platforms do not exploit young users' attention spans. Newsom's action has been praised as a significant step towards enhancing online safety for children.
