As California’s Attorney General, I will continue to use the full force of the law and the full authority of my office to address injustice and stand up for all people—no matter who is in the White House.

In California, progress will prevail.

Ahead of tomorrow’s election, I’m joining a bipartisan coalition of 51 AGs in condemning possible violence in response to the election results. 

We call upon every American to vote and respect the integrity of the democratic process.

We’re suing the social media giant TikTok for exploiting young users and deceiving the public about the dangers the platform poses to our youth. 

Together, with my fellow state AGs, we will hold TikTok to account, stop its exploitation of our young people, and end its deceit.

“The tech industry has been unwilling to voluntarily change its practices to protect children. Lawmakers have to do it for them.”

We’re suing Apple for illegally stifling innovation and competition, limiting consumer choice, and making it difficult and expensive to switch to other smartphones.

Consumers—not Apple—should decide what options they have.

As AG, iPromise to stand up to Big Tech.

Social media companies have fueled the youth mental health crisis, and @AGRobBonta and I will not allow these platforms to profit from our kids’ pain and addiction.

Talking social media and protecting our kids online at #SXSW

Big Social has proven that they're willing to put profits over the wellbeing of young users.

It’s up to us to create a safer internet where our kids can learn, connect, speak out, and express themselves without fear.
