We’re joined today by Asm. Josh Lowenthal (D – Long Beach) who spoke with us about his bills, AB 1709 and AB 2 - both signed by the governor last week – to regulate Social Media use by children and to hold tech companies financially liable when they cause harm. We also chat about a bill that did not make it out of the legislature - Senate Bill 1013, an effort to regulate the use of Flock cameras. Plus, as always, we tell you who had the Worst Week in California Politics.
