California has enacted the Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043), requiring device OS and app stores to verify users' ages during setup, with enforcement starting in 2027. The law aims to protect children from unregulated tech harms, with penalties for violations, and has garnered support from major companies like Google and Meta, though Apple opposes it. The law emphasizes responsible tech development and does not require parental consent or government ID uploads, but faces some industry resistance.
