California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday signed a controversial bill into law that aims to force greater transparency of social media companies, setting up a potential battle over whether such measures violate free-speech protections.

“California will not stand by as social media is weaponized to spread hate and disinformation that threaten our communities and foundational values as a country,” Newsom said in a news release.

He is not wrong.

The Social Media explosion (along with other computer-related explosions) has overshot our legal system big time. Our laws need to catch up without a doubt. That will take time, but we cannot just 'let it go' for now.

Gavin for POTUS.
