A U.S. District Court of Northern California ruling last week in NetChoice v. Bonta, which involved a law regulating addictive social media feeds for minors, will likely hold up and pave the way for approval of similar state laws, supporters of such laws said. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is set to consider an appeal of the Dec. 31 decision rejecting NetChoice's motion to stop the law from taking effect the next day.
NetChoice Lawsuits
Tech industry group NetChoice hasn't been afraid to sue states, including by challenging kids online safety laws that require age verification and parental consent. Privacy Daily is tracking many of these cases, which sometimes include the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) as a co-plaintiff.
Search Primer
Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.
Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "private right of action").
Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead. (e.g., HIPAA).
Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., FTC +rule).
Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., AI -deepfake).
Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term s (e.g. "lawsuit" instead of "lawsuits").
