California has banned addictive algorithms and features on social media targeted at minors. This pioneering measure was approved in the US state as a way to protect young people from the negative effects of digital platforms.
The Governor of California signed this law, which is part of a broader set of legislation passed this week. The goal is to tighten technology controls in the state.
This legislation represents one of the most ambitious attempts in the United States to regulate how social media operates and how its content is presented to younger users. The measure comes in the context of growing concern about the impacts of technology on teenagers' mental health.
