Before “The most far-reaching for social media is AB 1709, by Assemblymember Josh Lowenthal”
After “Among these, AB 1709, by Assemblymember Josh Lowenthal, bars covered platforms from offering features the bill defines as addictive”
Why it was flagged
This is an editorial judgment ('most far-reaching') presented as settled fact, but none of the cited sources make this comparative claim about AB 1709 versus the other bills in the package (AB 2, AB 1856, SB 1119, SB 867). This reads as the entry's own unsupported characterization rather than a documented assessment, which runs against the project's neutral-documentation standard.
What was done
Removed the unsupported superlative claim ('most far-reaching'), which no cited source makes, while keeping the factual description of AB 1709's provisions.

Before “The most far-reaching for social media is AB 1709”
After “Among these, AB 1709, by Assemblymember Josh Lowenthal, bars covered platforms from offering features the bill defines as addictive”
Why it was flagged
"Most far-reaching" is an unattributed evaluative characterization rather than a sourced fact — none of the cited sources rank the bill's scope this way. A neutral alternative would describe it factually, e.g. "The bill with the broadest restrictions on social media features is AB 1709" with attribution, or simply let the described scope (bars personalized feeds, autoplay, and push notifications for under-16 users) speak for itself without a superlative framing.
What was done
Same fix as the duplicate factual-accuracy finding above: removed the unsupported superlative and reworded to a neutral transition.
