Google, Meta, And TikTok File Three Separate Lawsuits Against California’s Ridiculous ‘Addictive Feeds’ Law
California legislators, led mainly by two of the most anti-science, anti-kid legislators in the state — Josh Lowenthal and Buffy Wicks — make sure that every year they experiment on our children with unproven, untested, scientifically illiterate laws that seek to “protect the children.” And, every year Gavin Newsom eagerly signs them into law forcing...
