Google, Meta, TikTok sue California over child social media addiction law

Google, Meta, and TikTok filed suit to block California's AB 1709, which bans 'psychologically exploitative features' like autoplay and personalized recommendations for users under 16.

This is a first major legal challenge to state-level social media regulation, with implications for platform design and liability.
