Responding to an opposition order Tuesday on an injunction against a California law regulating addictive social media feeds for minors, NetChoice said it's entitled to a preliminary injunction.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) opposed an injunction on a state law that would regulate addictive social media feeds for minors, arguing the organization didn't prove that the challenged provisions in the law are unconstitutional. In November, NetChoice sued Bonta over SB-976, alleging it undermines free speech and privacy principles.
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.
