Meta, Google, and TikTok have filed a lawsuit against California Attorney General challenging a new state law that would restrict social media access for children under 16. The legal battle centers on whether the state can enforce age-based restrictions on major tech platforms if the law takes effect next year.
Background
California has been at the forefront of tech regulation, with recent laws targeting social media's impact on youth mental health and data privacy. This lawsuit follows a pattern of tech companies challenging state-level regulations they argue overreach federal authority.
