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. In the name of “safety,” this bill would destroy online anonymity, expose sensitive personal data to breach and abuse, and replace parental decision-making with state-mandated censorship.

A.B. 1709 weaponizes legitimate parental concerns and uses them to hand even more censorship and surveillance power over to the government and tech companies. We need to stop it. Tell your lawmaker to vote NO on A.B. 1709: https://act.eff.org/action/stop-california-s-social-media-ban-a-b-1709
