Proposed California Law Would Allow Parents To Sue Over Children’s Social Media Addiction
As far as defining social media addiction, the bill reads that it applies to any person under 18 who is harmed emotionally, developmentally, materially, mentally or physically by a platform’s grip on them.
If passed by the California Senate, the measure would open the door for parents to sue social media companies for up to $25,000 per violation.
Notably, the proposal appeared to take direct aim at tech giants like Facebook (which owns Instagram) and TikTok, as it only applies to social media companies that had at least $100M in yearly gross revenue.
It’s also worth adding that it wouldn’t apply to streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. Companies that exclusively offer email or texting services will also be unaffected.
