When California leads, other states follow—especially on tech. We can’t let California lead the U.S. into an unconstitutional social media ban that destroys privacy and harms youth. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/act-now-stop-californias-paternalistic-and-privacy-destroying-social-media-ban
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.

Banning everyone under 16 from social media is bad public policy. CA's AB 2047 is framed as a safety measure, but really, it's a blunt instrument of censorship that several vital lifelines for young Californians. Tell your legislators to abandon this approach: https://act.eff.org/action/stop-california-s-social-media-ban-a-b-1709

www.freekentucky.com@eff Banning under 16's from social media been a disaster here in Australia.
Around 4 in 5 teens are still using social media anyway, just through workarounds.
Vulnerable young people, especially LGBTIQA+ youth and those escaping domestic violence, who relied on social media as a safe space have had that support disrupted, in some cases putting them at greater risk.
Meanwhile, vast amounts of ID data have been exposed or scraped by unknown actors online.
@eff Its not the ban I am worried about. It the survalence system they are putting in place that will leak all our PII data to every app that runs on a device. This is especially problamatic for medical devices that break HIPAA regulations and systems used by engineers working on ITAR projects like rocket engjnes or defense contractors! These are very serious violations of such privacy regulated industries!!
