9th Circuit Court of Appeals partially upholds first amendment challenge to California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act.

9th Circuit Court of Appeals upholds part of injunction against California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, ruling it likely violates First Amendment. The law, which aimed to protect children online, required businesses to assess and mitigate risks of children being exposed to harmful content. Court sends another part of the law back for reconsideration and vacates the rest of the preliminary injunction, stating it's unclear if the rest of the law violates the First Amendment. This ruling could impact similar legislation like the Kids Online Safety Act.
