A newly introduced California bill would, if passed, prohibit social media sites from promoting content that can lead minors to purchase fentanyl or firearms—including ghost guns—commit suicide, develop an eating disorder, inflict harm on themselves or others, or develop an addiction to the platform.
State Sen. Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley), who introduced Senate Bill 287 earlier in February, said in a Feb. 2 statement that it’s designed to hold social media platforms accountable for allowing “harmful content toward youth.”
