Judge blocks California law meant to protect children's online safety
By Jonathan Stempel (Reuters) – A federal judge on Monday blocked California from enforcing a law meant to protect children when they use the internet, saying the law's commercial speech restrictions likely violate the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment. In granting a preliminary injunction, U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman in San Jose, California, said she was 'keenly aware of the myriad harms that may befall children on the internet,' but California's law swept too broadly. The law, known as California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, was passed unanimously last September by the state legislature and signed by Governor Gavin Newsom.
