This is interesting as a different way of imposing age verification on operating systems. They’re doing this state by state in different ways, so is it a play for a national system of digital ID to make it easier on the corporations? Also, Gov. Newscum signed that bill making it easy for anyone to take a child out of school under the premise this helps children whose parents are being deported, and I also think they envisioned this helping family members get children out of school for gender treatments, as California is all about harming the children, as they’re sexual deviants wanting to have debauched sex with them at heart. Also worth noting is the Glock ban was passed as well, except for law enforcement. as you can manipulate them to shoot more than one round on a trigger pull which was already illegal unless you had a special permit. And after being defeated on the one gun per month purchase law, they passed a three guns per month law in their assault on the 2nd Ammendment and a citizen’s right to own guns. What a dumpster fire, and I feel for those who can’t escape<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bills would impose civil liabilities, such as fines and court-issued damages, for violations. Deepfake violations might incur penalties of $250,000.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed into law a series of state bills that will require age verification to access Apple and Google devices, impose social media warning labels, and regulate artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots and the creation of \u201cdeepfake\u201d videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seven bills were passed by the California Legislature during its 2025\u20132026 legislative session and were signed on Oct. 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the statutes will take effect on Jan. 1, 2027, while others\u2014related to \u201cdeepfake\u201d pornography and legal defenses against liability for AI usage\u2014are effective immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen some truly horrific and tragic examples of young people harmed by unregulated tech, and we won\u2019t stand by while companies continue,\u201d Newsom wrote<\/a> in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill on age verification, Assembly Bill 1043<\/a>, would require operating systems, such as Apple\u2019s iOS and Google\u2019s Android, to determine whether a user was under 13 years old, between 13 and 16, between 16 and 18, or over 18 years of age, and then curate content available to them accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restriction would apply to in-built software on those operating systems\u2014such as the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store used to download mobile applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Violations of this rule may incur civil penalties of $2,500 per child for each incident and up to $7,500 per child for intentional violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assembly Bill 1043 does not impose age verification requirements to access pornographic websites, which 25 other states have recently imposed, causing several, such as Pornhub, to shut down their operations in those states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A separate bill to impose such requirements in California, Assembly Bill 3080<\/a>, was not passed by the Legislature this year, and \u201cdied in the Senate Appropriations Committee,\u201d according to a report<\/a> by the state senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another piece of legislation, Assembly Bill 621, imposes steep penalties for producing or sharing \u201cdeepfake\u201d pornographic videos, where AI programs are used to create realistic depictions of real people engaging in sexual activity, often with faces adapted from publicly available photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill allows plaintiffs who sue to recover a maximum of $250,000 from defendants who create or share such content with malice, as well as punitive damages and legal fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill does not impose liability on social media companies, however, for content posted on their platforms, consistent with federal law under Section 230 of the Communications Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A separate bill signed by Newsom, Assembly Bill 316<\/a>, does not allow users of AI to shield themselves from liability when the AI, prompted by them, creates content that harms another person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bill regarding social media warning labels, Assembly Bill 56<\/a>, would require companies to warn users under 17 when they have cumulatively spent more than three hours a day on that platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It does not apply to specific content on those platforms, which in the past have been heavily criticized by conservatives for being politically biased and censorious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
