Will the children of America go Brick-In-The-Wall on California?
MILLIONS of Americans are bracing to be kicked off of their favorite social media platforms as state officials push for a massive ban.
Strict regulations could be coming as early as this summer as new social media legislation rapidly makes it way through key votes.
The controversial plan would seek to ban children under 16 in California from using social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and more.
Under California Assembly Bill 1709, a bipartisan effort, kids would be legally banned from having accounts on platforms with “addictive features” per the bill’s text.
Features include autoplay videos, infinite scrolling, algorithmic content recommendation, and push notifications.
If passed, AB1709 would force social media companies to verify users’ ages and delete accounts belonging to children under 16.
