CALIFORNIA BILL WOULD HIT SOCIAL MEDIA GIANTS WITH $1 MILLION PER CHILD HARMED...

The EU is watching closely and aims to outdo the U.S. Meta settlement with even stricter kids-safety rules under its Digital Services Act. Both moves come as APP's February 2026 Cygnal poll shows 81% of Americans — 66% strongly — back porn age verification, the hottest intensity in the survey.
