Verified. The official Governor of California page dated October 13, 2025 attributes the statement to Governor Gavin Newsom and contains the full passage: “We’ve seen some truly horrific and tragic examples of young people harmed by unregulated tech, and we won’t stand by while companies continue without necessary limits and accountability. We can continue to lead in AI and technology, but we must do it responsibly — protecting our children every step of the way.” The submitted version is a faithful verbatim excerpt with ellipses for omitted text.
