California set to ban ‘addictive’ social media features to protect teens

California is poised to implement a groundbreaking ban on certain "addictive" social media features to shield teenagers from potential harm. This move, if enacted, would set a precedent for other states and could influence national policy on tech regulation. Advocates argue that this legislation is crucial as it aims to curb the negative impacts of social media on young people’s mental health and well-being. The implications extend beyond state borders, potentially shaping the future of digital regulation in the U.S.
