A proposal to let parents sue over addictive social media features failed in the California legislature this week. The bill, AB 2408, failed to pass out of committee<\/a> for a full state Senate vote. It at least temporarily ends a controversial push to increase liability for social media in the state \u2014 an increasingly common practice among legislators.<\/p>\n

AB 2408<\/a>, or the Social Media Platform Duty to Children Act, was one of numerous state-level social media proposals<\/a>. It would have authorized civil penalties against social networks whose designs caused a \u201cchild user … to become addicted to the platform,\u201d either by design or in a way the operators should have known was harmful. It would not have applied to social networks that generate less than $100 million annually or are primarily intended for video games.<\/p>\n
