Injuries to children: civil penalties.

Summary

The bill adds a new civil‑code section that makes social‑media companies with over $100 million in annual revenue liable for statutory damages when their negligence harms a child. Penalties are either $5,000 per violation up to $1 million per child or three times the child’s actual damages, whichever is greater. The measure seeks to shift the cost of child‑related injuries from families and taxpayers to the platforms themselves.
