Episode Details

California is launching some of the nation’s toughest new rules to shield kids online, tackling everything from banning the sale of children’s data to forcing social media platforms to assume users are minors by default. New laws aim to block addictive algorithms, limit teen notifications, and require AI chatbots to disclose they’re not human — all while sparking legal battles and debates over First Amendment rights and tech industry resistance. While experts applaud the momentum, they note California still lags behind countries like Brazil, and proposals like a complete ban on social media for kids under 16 are stirring fierce controversy. The push is on to balance child safety with corporate interests — and the fight’s just beginning.
