Newsom Signs Chatbot, Social Media Laws To Protect California Kids' Mental Health

Newsom Signs Chatbot, Social Media Laws To Protect California Kids' Mental Health Among the bills Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law yesterday were two specifically focused on combating the teenage mental health crisis. One requires social media companies to either stop offering “addictive” tools to users younger than 16 or bar them from the platforms entirely. The other requires built-in mental health resources and imposes time limits for minors using AI chatbots. https://kffhealthnews.org/morning-breakout/state-watch-091126/
