    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Yesterday, US District Judge Beth Labson Freeman ordered a preliminary injunction stopping California Attorney General Rob Bonta from enforcing the state’s Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (CAADCA), finding that the law likely violates the First Amendment.

    Netchoice—a trade group whose members include tech giants like Meta, TikTok, Google, and Amazon—filed a lawsuit requesting the preliminary injunction last December.

    “We appreciate the district court’s thoughtful analysis of the First Amendment and decision to prevent regulators from violating the free speech and online privacy rights of Californians, their families, and their businesses as our case proceeds,” Marchese said.

    A group of civil society organizations, legal scholars, parents, and youth advocates known as the Kids Code coalition expressed disappointment in Freeman’s decision.

    The coalition argued that “the First Amendment does not shield corporations from accountability for their profit-motivated design decisions that endanger kids’ well-being” and “strongly support an appeal of this ruling.”

    As Big Tech has shown time and again, they will pull out all the stops to continue to profit off of significant harm to kids and teens with impunity."
