California will be the first state to require online companies to put kids' safety first by barring them from profiling children or using personal information in ways that could harm children physically or mentally, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday.

"We're taking aggressive action in California to protect the health and wellbeing of our kids," Newsom said in a statement announcing that he had signed the bill. He noted that as a father of four,"I'm familiar with the real issues our children are experiencing online."

"We believe young people should have consistent protections across all apps and online services they use, which is why we support clear industry standards in this area," the social media giant said. It called the law"an important development towards establishing these standards." The law was opposed by a coalition including the Entertainment Software Association that said it includes"an over-inclusive standard and would capture far more websites and platforms than necessary."
