Social media companies could avoid liability if they remove features deemed addictive to children.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California could soon hold social media companies responsible for harming children who have become addicted to their products, permitting parents to sue platforms like Instagram and TikTok for up to $25,000 per violation under a bill that passed the state Assembly on Monday.
Business groups have warned that if the bill passes, social media companies would most likely cease operations for children in California rather than face the legal risk. It would not apply to streaming services like Netflix and Hulu or to companies that only offer email and text messaging services.
