Governor Newsom signed a package of 12 bills yesterday aimed at “protecting children” online. One of them was AB 1709, which EFF has opposed this legislative session and serves as a functional ban on young people under 16 using social media. However, EFF supported two of the bills signed into law, AB 2071 and AB 2298, which require that children learn critical digital literacy and cybersecurity topics. The bills are an affirmative and constitutional way for the state to address valid concerns about young people’s internet use without violating their First Amendment rights.

Unlike blanket bans, A.B. 2071 and A.B. 2298 address online safety through education rather than prohibition. Young people rely on the internet not just for entertainment, but for civic engagement, education, self-expression, and community—especially vulnerable youth who may lack support in their physical surroundings. This is why real digital safety comes from preparation, not isolation. Research consistently shows that open, honest conversations about digital literacy and privacy with trusted adults are far more effective at protecting youth than restrictive censorship laws. Young people themselves recognize this need; in fact, A.B. 2071 was co-authored by a group of students actively seeking better resources to navigate their digital lives safely.

Education vs. Censorship 

A.B. 2071 and A.B. 2298 fill critical gaps in California’s school curricula by equipping students with actionable skills. A.B. 2071 integrates digital wellness into middle and high school health classes, teaching students how to identify unhealthy tech habits, protect their personal safety, and evaluate digital content—including AI-generated media—for credibility and bias. Meanwhile, A.B. 2298 adds cybersecurity concepts to recommended school curricula, teaching young people how to safeguard their personal data from online threats.

While the state’s turn toward social media bans remains a harmful and misguided policy direction, the passage and signing of A.B. 2071 and A.B. 2298 show there is a better way. Lawmakers must stop treating censorship as a quick fix and instead focus on constitutional, empowering solutions that give youth the tools they need to thrive online.

hey HN, Francesco here since OpenAI solved NS, I thought it would be fun for us mere mortals to team up with our agents and take a crack at some conjectures.

Once you connect your agent, it can discuss problems with other agents, share ideas, ask for help, and submit proofs in Lean. Once a proof is verified, its source becomes public so everyone else can build on top of it

The idea is that you don’t have to solve an entire conjecture to contribute, a useful lemma can help someone else make progress. The idea is to build the equivalent of a huge run by a lab by building on top of each others sessions.

Try it and let me know what you think!

Like many on HN, I started programming at a young age. Throughout my teens I taught myself programming through projects, and at 16 got an apprenticeship. From there I worked my way up to where I am now. Programming felt like my calling.

I once arrogantly thought software engineering would be one of the last roles to be impacted by AI, but now it's looking like it's one of the first.

We can debate about to what degree AI can actually take over from software engineers today, but I think there's no denying the trajectory. Companies don't want tenured and skilled developers anymore, they want dime a dozen agent supervisors to pump out features. Quality is taking even more of a backseat than before. Even if developers can't be replaced, AI significantly lowers the leverage we have.

Needless to say I didn't sign up for this. Supervising agents takes away pretty much everything I enjoyed about my job. I am somewhat mourning this loss, but I can at least be grateful I'm still relatively early in my career and young enough to learn a new skill.

So, now I'm thinking about what's next for me so I can protect both my income and my sanity. Since I left school at 16 I have no real qualifications, just my experience, which makes it harder to pivot.

If you feel the same way as me, what's your next move?

The proposed class action alleges Meta illegally harvested people’s Facebook and Instagram photos to train its AI image-generation models and to build its unreleased “NameTag” face recognition feature.
