SAN FRANCISCO: California legislators on Aug 30 passed a bill to require tech firms to put the well-being of children over profits when designing apps or other online products.
The bill is heading to the desk of Governor Gavin Newsom whose signature is needed for the Age-Appropriate Design Code Act to become law in the state that is home to Silicon Valley titans such as Meta, Google, and Apple.
