California Governor Newsom to sign law limiting social media feeds for minors, requiring parental consent and private accounts, in response to mental health concerns.

California Governor Gavin Newsom will sign a law prohibiting social media platforms from providing addictive feeds to minors without parental consent, effective in 2027. The legislation restricts notifications to minors during late-night and school hours and requires children's accounts to be private by default. This move follows similar laws in New York and Utah, responding to growing concerns about social media's impact on children's mental health and well-being.
