Major aspects of the legislation that state lawmakers passed Tuesday were modeled after data protection and privacy restrictions already adopted in Europe. For instance, Wicks said, in the United Kingdom Google has made safe search its default browsing mode for anyone under age 18, YouTube has turned off autoplay for users who are minors, and TikTok and Instagram have disabled direct messaging between children and adults.
Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel , sponsor of the bill, said it was aimed at curbing the spread of extremism, racism and conspiracy theories via social media.
