In a decisive move to safeguard children's mental health, California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a landmark bill aimed at protecting kids from social media addiction. The new law will regulate social media usage among minors and mandates that schools notify parents about the potential risks associated with social media, including the promotion of drug use. This legislation aligns California with New York's recent efforts to address social media's addictive features and their adverse effects on youth. Governor Newsom's actions underscore a growing recognition of the need to mitigate the negative impacts of social media on children's health.
