Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., issued a statement supporting the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act. The statement came in response to technology trade association NetChoice filing a lawsuit against the state in an attempt to block the online safety law. Newsom said he will "vigorously defend" the law, touting how it and California lawmakers are "shielding (children) from harmful data mining, violent content, and automatic GPS tracking that allows adults to track down kids."
