What happened
Meta, Google and TikTok have filed lawsuits against California's AB 1709, which prohibits deploying addictive feeds and other addictive features for minors, arguing it violates First Amendment rights to curate and distribute speech. The article says the suits largely repeat arguments a district court rejected in a similar case in August, when the judge found addictive feed design was not protected speech. It also cites appellate rulings in the Sixth and Eleventh Circuits and the Ninth Circuit that went against industry challenges to minors' social media laws.
