TechGoogle, Meta and TikTok sue California to block child-protection law

Google, Meta and TikTok filed separate lawsuits seeking to stop California from enforcing a law intended to reduce social media addiction risks for children under 16. The law bars features such as autoplay that could encourage compulsive use and requires accounts with those features to be deleted. The companies argue it violates free-speech protections, while the state attorney general’s office says it is reviewing the suits.
