Meta Platforms Inc. and TikTok Inc. are challenging a California law that forbids social media platforms from allowing minors to access personalized feeds without parental consent.

The law as applied to the social media giants is a content-based restriction on speech that violates the First Amendment, the separate complaints filed Thursday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California say.

The cases are Meta Platforms Inc. v. Bonta, N.D. Cal., No. 3:25-cv-09792, complaint filed 11/13/25; TikTok Inc. v. Bonta, N.D. Cal., No. 3:25-cv-09789, complaint filed 11/13/25.
