💨 Abstract

A federal judge has blocked California from enforcing a law intended to protect children from potentially harmful online content, stating that it violates free speech rights. The law, known as the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, required businesses to assess risks to children and configure privacy settings accordingly. The judge ruled that the law is overly broad and not narrowly tailored to protect children from bullying, harassment, and other harms.
