Meta, Google, TikTok and friends sue California to block kids privacy law
in September. It is set to take effect in 2024, and applies to any"business that provides an online service, product, or feature likely to be accessed by children." And by"children," it means anyone younger than 18.
Before offering their services or products to minors, businesses must assess whether these offerings could harm minors or use features to extend kids' time spent on the site, such as offering rewards for longer visits.The state's definition of"harm" is too vague, according to the court documents. "A business could be expected to document the risks, for example, that photographs and videos depicting the global effects of climate change, the war in Ukraine, school shootings, or atrocities in Syria could cause minors anxiety; or that a content recommendation for the next episode of a cartoon TV series could 'harm' a minor who is struggling to focus on homework or to get more exercise," the lawsuit says.
