New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed two bills in June restricting digital platforms' algorithms and use of children's data. Social media platforms will be required to display content chronologically by default for kids under 18. And websites would be banned from collecting or sharing the personal data of users under 18 without consent.

California will make it illegal for social media platforms to knowingly provide addictive feeds to children without parental consent beginning in 2027.

California's governor has signed legislation to protect Hollywood actors and performers against unauthorized use of artificial intelligence, such as creating their digital clones without their consent.
