California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoes SB 771, which would’ve fined social media companies if their algorithms intentionally promoted violent or extremist content  —  Newsom, in a statement explaining his veto, said he shared concerns about “discriminatory threats, violence and coercive harassment online” but called SB771 “premature.”
