A first-of-its-kind proposal in the California Legislature aimed at holding social media companies responsible for harming children who have become addicted to their products would no longer let parents sue popular platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
would still make social media companies liable for damages of up to $250,000 per violation for using features they know can cause children to become addicted. But it would only let prosecutors, not parents, file the lawsuits against social media companies. The legislation was amended last month, CalMatters reported Thursday.
While the revised bill might win more votes in the state Legislature, it hasn't won over social media companies, many of which are based in California and remain opposed.
"There is a lot of innovation in this space to make sure that parents and kids are able to better control their social media usage," Hoffman said.
