California Bill Threatens Infinite Scroll Feature on Websites

A proposed California law has sparked controversy among tech companies and web developers. The legislation targets user interface designs that encourage prolonged screen time. Critics argue that the law could effectively ban the infinite scroll pattern. Infinite scroll is widely used to keep users engaged on social media and news sites. Lawmakers claim the measure aims to protect mental health, especially for younger users. If enacted, platforms would need to redesign navigation to comply. The change could alter how content is presented and monetized online. Observers will watch the bill’s progress for broader implications on web design.
