AG Rob Bonta appealed the Northern District of California’s decision to block enforcement of the Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, in response to a lawsuit brought by an online trade association representing companies such as Google, Meta, Amazon, and Twitter.

“We are deeply concerned about further delay in implementing protections for children online. That is why, today, my office has appealed the Northern District of California’s decision blocking enforcement of the Age-Appropriate Design Code,” said Attorney General Rob Bonta. “I am committed to making social media safer for children by defending California’s commonsense statutes — our kids’ safety cannot wait.”
