“In NetChoice v. Bonta, the Ninth Circuit in 2025 upheld that law's feed-consent and default-private-account provisions but struck down a provision hiding like counts from minors as a content-based restriction on speech.”
Why it was flagged
The cited source for this ruling (the 'People of Internet' analysis, per its notes field) is described as supporting only that the Ninth Circuit upheld SB 976's feed-consent provisions and struck its like-count provision. No source in this entry's bibliography is noted as supporting a holding on 'default-private-account provisions.' This detail appears to be an unsupported addition to the cited ruling's actual holdings.
Why it was dismissed
The cited source does support the claim. The People of Internet article (https://peopleofinternet.com/articles/california-s-ab-1709-goes-further-than-the-law-courts-just.html) says the Ninth Circuit's September 2025 NetChoice v. Bonta ruling upheld SB 976's 'default-private-account and addictive-feed-consent provisions' and struck the provision hiding like counts from minors as content-based. The gap was only in the source's notes field, which left out the default-private-account holding. I added it to the notes and left the body sentence unchanged.
