A federal judge blocked California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act meant to protect children from harmful online content due to concerns over free speech violations. Judge Beth Labson Freeman granted a preliminary injunction, agreeing with NetChoice that the law forced tech companies to act as censors. California Attorney General Rob Bonta vowed to defend the legislation.
