Act Now to Stop California’s Paternalistic and Privacy-Destroying Social Media Ban
California lawmakers are fast-tracking A.B. 1709—a sweeping bill that would ban anyone under 16 from using social media and force every user, regardless of age, to verify their identity before accessing social platforms.
