California impune noi reguli pentru protejarea copiilor. Restricții pentru social media și jucăriile cu AI

California's Governor Gavin Newsom has enacted new laws to protect children from technology risks, limiting social media access for those under 16 and banning AI chatbot toys for four years. The legislation aims to reduce psychological exploitation and enhance online privacy for minors. One law, Assembly Bill 1709, prohibits exposing children to features that encourage compulsive use, while another restricts the manufacture of AI-integrated toys. The package also strengthens penalties for child sexual abuse materials, including AI-generated content. These measures have bipartisan support but face criticism regarding privacy and free speech.
