Google, Meta and TikTok sued US authorities over restrictions on "sticky" algorithms for children These major IT companies have united and filed a lawsuit against California authorities. They demand the repeal of the law restricting the use of potentially addictive features in social networks for children under 16. Under the new rules, TikTok will have to disable the "for you" recommendation feed for teens. Facebook, Instagram and Threads will ban personalized news feeds and autoplay videos for kids. The companies believe that the law infringes on freedom of expression and contradicts federal law in the US. Google, for example, defended itself by comparing the automatic start of the next video on YouTube to TV, where after one program starts another.
