MAPA CON RUTA AL ÉXITO PARA LOS COLEGIOS COMUNITARIOS RURALES
Suzanne Potter California News Service
Loscolegios comunitarios rurales enfrentan muchos desafíos, pero muchos han convertido la determinación en innovación, con las mejores prácticas mostradas en un nuevo informe del Instituto Aspen.
Los investigadores destacaron los esfuerzos en dos colegios comunitarios rurales de California.
Kate Mahar, vicepresidenta asociada de innovación e iniciativas estratégicas de Shasta College, explicó que la escuela ofrece un programa llamado BOLD, que significa Licenciatura a través de títulos locales y en línea. Los estudiantes BOLD que completan los primeros dos años en Shasta pueden permanecer en el campus y terminar los últimos dos años a través de un programa de finalización de estudios en línea
existente de una escuela de cuatro años.
"BOLD permite que esos estudiantes accedan a una parte del apoyo que necesitan para tener éxito en esos programas, incluida tecnología confiable, conexiones, servicios de biblioteca y servicios de tutoría", explicó Mahar.
La Fundación Shasta suscribe un curso gratuito de una unidad, para que los estudiantes puedan inscribirse conjuntamente con Shasta y el programa de cuatro años de su elección. No hay instituciones públicas de cuatro años a poca distancia de Shasta College, por lo que permite a las personas permanecer en sus comunidades mientras obtienen una licenciatura.
El informe también destaca un programa en Imperial Valley College, donde envían profesores universitarios a enseñar en las escuelas secundarias locales.
Víctor Torres, decano asociado de desarrollo de la fuerza laboral e instrucción no tradicional en Imperial Valley College, dijo que los estudiantes de secundaria pueden obtener hasta 30 créditos universitarios antes de graduarse, y el 95 % va a la universidad.
"Establece una especie de sentido de pertenencia", enfatizó Torres. "Hacemos una excursión en la que obtienen una identificación universitaria y se vuelven parte de nuestra cultura universitaria. Los estudiantes ya están pensando que pueden tener éxito en los cursos universitarios".
El informe también destacó los programas que crean vías hacia la movilidad económica, convencen a los estudiantes para que se matriculen y permanezcan en la universidad y crean asociaciones estratégicas para ayudar a las personas a permitirse permanecer en la escuela.
El apoyo para este informe fue proporcionado por la Fundación Lumina.

ARE WE OUT OF THE WOODS WITH COVID?
Omicron variants are killing 200-300 people a day but population immunity in the U.S. is higher and more stable than a year ago.
¿ESTAMOS FUERA DE PELIGRO CON COVID?
Las variantes de Omicron están matando a 200-300 personas por día, pero la inmunidad de la población en los EE. UU. es más alta y más estable que hace un año.
ENGLISH ESPAÑOL
Peter White Ethnic Media Services
TheChairman of the Department of Medicine at the University of California San Francisco says the number of new COVID-19 cases is decreasing, wastewater infectiousness is relatively low and hospitalizations are going down.
“The state of COVID, at least as far as I can tell, feels reasonably mild compared to what we’ve seen in the past 3 years, and remarkably stable,” says Dr. Robert Wachter.
Wachter briefed reporters on an Ethnic Media Services conference call last week.
He said the biggest surprise about new variants driving the pandemic in the last 18 months has been the relative lack of surprises.
“We are still on the same Greek letter that we were since December 2020,” Wachter said, referring to the Omicron variant whose name derives from the Greek alphabet.
Since March, the World Health Organization has been monitoring the Omicron subvariant XBB.1.16, aka “Arcturus.” The variant has a higher transmissibility than previous ones but doesn’t appear to be more dangerous. The new strain accounts for about 10% of COVID-19 cases worldwide. People who get it tend to have a fever and some get pink eye. Both symptoms don’t last very long.
“The last year or so really feels like new variants are a little scary and then they turn out not to be that big a deal. And so I think, if past is prologue, that’s likely to be what happens with this newest variant,” Wachter says.
Staying safe even as COVID-19 restrictions fade
Dr. William Schaffner, Professor and Chair, Department of Preventive Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, says that while Covid can still be deadly, the risk of severe infection has diminished.
Dr. William Schaffner, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center still wears a mask in crowded places, as does Wachter.
“Many of our population have experienced COVID. Many people have been vaccinated, and of course many people have experienced both, and so our level of protection is very high, and these Omicron variants seem to be spreading, producing milder disease,” Schaffner says.
“The therapies, the testing, the treatments that we’ve gotten used to all work about as well as they have for the last 18 months. In some ways the biggest changes are political and sociological. It’s clear that any rules and restrictions are pretty much gone,” Wachter says.
Americans have largely stopped wearing masks or hung them on their car mirrors just in case they may need them.
Schaffner says we need to keep our guard up. Older and immunocompromised people, as well as the unvaccinated, are the COVID patients who end up in the hospital. Vulnerable people need to get vaccinated, boosted, and wear masks.
“It turns out that the quality of the mask and the fit is important,” says Schaffner. The N-95 mask fits securely around your nose and chin. In the early days of the pandemic they were hard to find and controversy about wearing masks created a lot of confusion. Masks are no longer mandated except in hospitals and other places where the risk of infection remains high and it remains high for certain people.
“The other early mantra – that it’s really about protecting others and not you – it’s also wrong. It is about protecting others, but it certainly protects you, too.
It’s probabilistic. It lowers the chance of getting infected,” Schaffner says.
“If we’re not masking… I would say condoms prevent babies, masks prevent infectious disease. You’ll hear a lot of arguments about wearing both of them. But that doesn’t mean they don’t work,” says Dr. Ben Neuman, Chief Virologist of the Global Health Research Complex at Texas A&M University. Arcturus variant likely not a game changer
Neuman said the Arcturus variant is different enough from the current vaccine strains that it has the potential to evade them because “it’s about as different from Omicron as Omicron was different from Delta and so just like we saw the Omicron wave come through, there is at least the potential for that.”
Wachter doesn’t think the new variant will be a game-changer though. For one thing, enough people have immunity now so the possibility of a super-spreader event is unlikely.
“The vaccine and the booster still work reasonably well in about the same way that we have thought for the last 18 months or so.” Paxil still works reasonably well, your home test still works reasonably well, Wachter says.
“The risk of getting very sick is probably not any different now than it will be in 3 years… so we all have to come up with strategies that allow us to live our lives as fully as we can while mitigating the risks in a way that’s practical and sustainable. And that’s different than two years ago, when we were all trying to get through it,” he says.
Wachter and Schaffner told reporters that they get boosted regularly. They are waiting for new vaccines that will be available in a few months for flu, COVID-19, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).
Long COVID
Dr. Robert Wachter, Professor and Chair, Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, discusses what medical professionals and researchers have learned about long covid and what they’re still working to understand.
For people who get re-infected, the danger of long COVID increases, especially for women. Wachter’s wife, a former reporter who now writes books, has long COVID and she is learning to live with it.
“A year ago she was not disabled in any way in terms of getting through her days. Certainly, many people have it worse than she does,” Wachter says.
“But most days at about one or two in the afternoon, she will text me and say I’m hitting a wall. I need to take a nap. She never had to do that before.”
A little bit of brain fog is making her “a little less good than she was” but it’s a consolation to know what’s causing it, he says.
Peter White Ethnic Media Services
Elpresidente del Departamento de Medicina de la Universidad de California en San Francisco dice que la cantidad de nuevos casos de COVID-19 está disminuyendo, la infecciosidad de las aguas residuales es relativamente baja y las hospitalizaciones están disminuyendo.
“El estado de COVID, al menos que yo sepa, se siente razonablemente leve en comparación con lo que hemos visto en los últimos 3 años, y notablemente estable”, dice el Dr. Robert Wachter.
Wachter informó a los periodistas sobre una conferencia telefónica de Servicios de Medios Étnicos la semana pasada.
Dijo que la mayor sorpresa sobre las nuevas variantes que impulsaron la pandemia en los últimos 18 meses ha sido la relativa falta de sorpresas.
“Todavía estamos en la misma letra griega que estábamos desde diciembre de 2020”, dijo Wachter, refiriéndose a la variante Omicron cuyo nombre deriva del alfabeto griego.
Desde marzo, la Organización Mundial de la Salud ha estado monitoreando la subvariante XBB.1.16 de Omicron, también conocida como “Arcturus.” La variante tiene una mayor transmisibilidad que las anteriores, pero no parece ser más peligrosa. La nueva cepa representa alrededor del 10% de los casos de COVID-19 en todo el mundo. Las personas que la contraen tienden a tener fiebre y algunas tienen conjuntivitis. Ambos síntomas no duran mucho tiempo.
“El último año más o menos realmente parece que las nuevas variantes dan un poco de miedo y luego resultan no ser tan malas. Y creo que, si el pasado es un prólogo, es probable que eso sea lo que suceda con esta nueva variante”, dice Wachter.
Mantenerse seguro incluso cuando las restricciones de COVID-19 se desvanecen
El Dr. William Schaffner, profesor y presidente del Departamento de Medicina Preventiva del Centro Médico de la Universidad de Vanderbilt, dice que si bien el covid todavía puede ser mortal, el riesgo de infección grave ha disminuido.
El Dr. William Schaffner, profesor y presidente del Departamento de Medicina del Centro Médico de la Universidad de Vanderbilt, todavía usa una máscarilla en lugares concurridos, al igual que Wachter.
“Mucha de nuestra población ha experimentado COVID. Muchas personas han sido vacunadas y, por supuesto, muchas personas han experimentado ambas, por lo que nuestro nivel de protección es muy alto, y estas variantes de Omicron parecen estar propagándose, produciendo una enfermedad más leve”, dice Schaffner.
“Las terapias, las pruebas, los tratamientos a los que nos hemos acostumbrado funcionan tan bien como lo han hecho durante los últimos 18 meses. En cierto
modo, los mayores cambios son políticos y sociológicos. Está claro que todas las reglas y restricciones prácticamente han desaparecido”, dice Wachter. Los estadounidenses han dejado de usar máscarillas en gran medida o las han colgado en los espejos de sus coches en caso de que las necesiten.
Schaffner dice que debemos mantener la guardia alta. Las personas mayores e inmunocomprometidas, así como las no vacunadas, son los pacientes de COVID que acaban en el hospital. Las personas vulnerables necesitan vacunarse, reforzarse y usar máscarillas.
“Resulta que la calidad de la máscara y el ajuste son importantes”, dice Schaffner. La máscara N-95 se ajusta de forma segura alrededor de la nariz y la barbilla. Al principio de la pandemia eran difíciles de conseguir y la controversia sobre el uso de mascarillas generó mucha confusión. Las máscarillas ya no son obligatorias, excepto en hospitales y otros lugares donde el riesgo de infección sigue siendo alto y sigue siendo alto para ciertas personas.
“El otro mantra inicial – que realmente se trata de proteger a los demás y no a ti – también está mal. Se trata de proteger a los demás, pero ciertamente también te protege a ti.
Es probabilístico. Reduce la posibilidad de infectarse”, dice Schaffner.
“Si no usamos mascarillas… Yo diría que los condones previenen a los bebés, las máscaras previenen las enfermedades infecciosas. Escucharás muchos argumentos sobre usar ambos. Pero eso no significa que no funcionen”, dice el Dr. Ben Neuman, virólogo jefe del Complejo de Investigación de Salud Global de la Universidad Texas A&M.
Es probable que la variante de Arcturus no cambie las reglas del juego
Neuman dijo que la variante de Arcturus es lo suficientemente diferente de las cepas de vacunas actuales que tiene el potencial de evadirlas porque "es tan diferente de Omicron como Omicron era diferente de Delta y así como vimos pasar la ola de Omicron, hay al menos menos el potencial para eso.”
Sin embargo, Wachter no cree que la nueva variante cambie las reglas del juego. Por un lado, suficientes personas tienen inmunidad ahora, por lo que la posibilidad de un evento de superpropagación es poco probable.
“La vacuna y el refuerzo todavía funcionan razonablemente bien de la misma manera que hemos pensado durante los últimos 18 meses más o menos”. Paxil todavía funciona razonablemente bien, su prueba casera todavía funciona razonablemente bien, dice Wachter.
“El riesgo de enfermarse gravemente probablemente no sea diferente ahora de lo que será dentro de 3 años… por lo que todos tenemos que idear estrategias que nos permitan vivir nuestras vidas tan plenamente como podamos mientras mitigamos los riesgos de una manera que sea práctico y sostenible. Y eso es diferente a hace dos años, cuando todos estábamos tratando de superarlo”, dice.
Wachter y Schaffner dijeron a los periodistas que reciben refuerzos con regularidad. Están a la espera de nuevas vacunas que estarán disponibles en unos meses para la gripe, el COVID-19 y el Virus Respiratorio Sincitial (VSR).
Long COVID
El Dr. Robert Wachter, profesor y presidente del Departamento de Medicina de la Universidad de California, San Francisco, analiza lo que los profesionales médicos y los investigadores han aprendido sobre el long COVID y lo que todavía están trabajando para comprender.
Para las personas que se vuelven a infectar, aumenta el peligro de long COVID, especialmente para las mujeres. La esposa de Wachter, una ex reportera que ahora escribe libros, tiene COVID desde hace mucho tiempo y está aprendiendo a vivir con eso.
“Hace un año ella no estaba discapacitada de ninguna manera en términos de pasar sus días. Ciertamente, muchas personas lo pasan peor que ella”, dice Wachter. “Pero la mayoría de los días, alrededor de la una o las dos de la tarde, me envía un mensaje de texto y me dice estoy exhausta. Necesito tomar una siesta. Ella nunca tuvo que hacer eso antes”.
Un poco de confusión mental la está haciendo “un poco menos buena de lo que era”, pero es un consuelo saber qué lo está causando, dice.

LAWMAKERS WANT MORE SOCIAL MEDIA REGULATION. HERE ARE THE LEGAL HURDLES THAT COULD FACE
Grace Gedye CalMatters
WhenSophie Szew first downloaded Instagram at her 10th birthday party, she was exposed to a flurry of information that “promoted eating disorders,” she told California lawmakers. By 15, she said, she was following “every starvation regimen recommended” by Instagram’s “explore” page.
Szew, now 20, spoke in Sacramento at a Senate hearing in April in support of an expansive bill making its way through the Legislature. It would hold companies legally responsible for using algorithms and design features that addict young people.
“Standing with me today is a generation that knows all too well what it is like to be harmed by flawed systems,” she said.
The past few years have seen a steady drip of research and reporting about the effects of social media on teens. That has translated into a stream of legislative activity across the country, with several states passing or considering laws that regulate how social media companies do business.
In 2022, when researchers for a nonprofit created TikTok profiles posing as 13-year old girls in the U.S., U.K., Australia and Canada, they scrolled through videos served to them, stopping to watch and like videos about eating disorders, body image, and mental health. They found that TikTok recommended suicide content within 2.6 minutes and eating disorder content within 8 minutes.
In 2021, after a whistleblower leaked documents, the Wall Street Journal reported that researchers at Meta, formerly known as Facebook, found that 32% of teen girls said that when they felt bad about their bodies, Instagram made them feel worse. Meta owns Instagram.
CalMatters reached out to Twitter, Reddit, Mastodon, TikTok and Meta, which also owns WhatsApp, for comment. Twitter’s press inbox responded automatically with a poop emoji. Reddit, Mastodon, and TikTok did not respond.
In a statement, Meta’s Global Head of Safety, Antigone Davis, wrote that Meta wants teens to be safe online: “We don’t allow content that promotes suicide, self-harm or eating disorders, and of the content we remove or take action on, we identify over 99% of it before it’s reported to us.”
Rachel Holland, a Meta spokesperson, offered information on a variety of features teens and parents can use to shape what young people see, like a setting that makes new teen users less likely to encounter sensitive content, and a feature that nudges teens when they’ve been scrolling through the same kind of content for a while.
What the California bill does
The bill takes aim at how social media com-
panies serve up content to young people under 18. Specifically, it prohibits social media companies from using a design, algorithm, feature, or practice, that companies know (or should know) causes young people to:
Develop an eating disorder, inflict harm on themselves or others, or become addicted to the social media platform;
Receive content that facilitates the purchase of controlled substances, like opioids; that facilitates suicide by offering information on how to die by suicide; or facilitates the sale of guns illegally.
It covers social media companies that earn more than $100 million in revenue per year and have users in California. Companies that violate the law could get sued by public attorneys, and would face penalties of as much as $250,000 per violation.
But the bill also builds in a way for companies to protect themselves from lawsuits: By auditing their designs, algorithms, features, and more at least quarterly for their potential to cause the harms listed in the bill and correcting issues within 30 days.
“If you look at a bill like this, the crux of the problem is content.”

SOPHIA COPE, SENIOR STAFF ATTORNEY, ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION
California isn’t the only state where legislators are aiming to regulate social media platforms. In March, Utah’s governor signed a similar bill into law, plus another law that institutes a social media curfew for Utah teens under 18 and requires teens to get their parents’ permission to set up social media accounts. Arkansas also passed a law requiring parental permission for teens to set up social media accounts. State legislators in New Jersey are considering a bill that prohibits social media companies from using features that addict kids, and lawmakers in Minnesota are also mulling a social media bill. Then, there are the bills that would regulate social media with a different aim: Texas passed a law that made it illegal to ban users based on their “viewpoints,” and Florida also passed a law restricting platforms’ ability to ban users.
On top of all the new proposals, there are a bevy of lawsuits ping-ponging their way through the courts that could reshape social media regulation. The Texas and Florida laws were challenged for violating the First Amendment; the Supreme Court will decide their fate. More than 80 cases have been grouped together in one jumbo lawsuit, in which plaintiffs say that the social media platforms are essentially defective products — like an exploding toaster — because they addict children.
California bill could face legal hurdles
If the California bill became law, would it be able to dodge and weave its way through legal challenges?
Tech industry lobbyists, as well as some digital rights advocates and internet law experts, say that the bill would immediately bump up against the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and federal law. Both outrank or “pre-empt” in lawyer-speak, California laws.
The bill runs afoul of the Constitution because the Supreme Court has generally interpreted the First Amendment as protecting the editorial decisions of publishers, said Sophia Cope, a senior staff attorney at the nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation, which opposes the bill. Newspapers decide their layout, what goes on the front page and which images to use, Cope said. Social media platforms are doing similar things as online publishers when they make decisions about how content is displayed, shared, or promoted, she said.
This bill “goes directly at the heart of the editorial discretion of these platforms,” Cope said.
“It’s the First Amendment that restricts the ability of legislators to control the flow of information at children” to the degree legislators might want, agreed Eric Goldman, a professor at Santa Clara University School of Law and an expert on internet law. His example: a Supreme Court case from 1997

A California bill would hold social media companies legally responsible for addicting kids to their platforms. Tech lobbyists, digital rights advocates, and others say the proposal would run afoul of federal law and the U.S. Constitution.

about whether a law prohibiting the transmission of porn or “obscene or indecent” messages to kids violated the first amendment. The Supreme Court decided unanimously that it did.
Ed Howard, senior counsel for the Children’s Advocacy Institute at the University of San Diego School of Law and a supporter of the bill, disagrees, and argues that the bill doesn’t violate the First Amendment, in part because the algorithms that prioritize what content gets displayed don’t have their own First Amendment rights. And, he said, “there is no blanket immunity to harm people through your speech.”
Then, there’s a federal law that could pose a problem for the California bill. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act generally protects tech companies from legal responsibility for content posted by users on their platforms. If, for example, someone posts a defamatory review of a restaurant on Yelp, the restaurant owner could sue the poster, but Yelp itself would be protected, said Cope.
So, a key question is whether the California bill is taking aim at features and algorithms that a social media company has designed — for which it may not be protected by Section 230 — or if it’s really requiring platforms to be accountable for content that users upload.
State Sen. Nancy Skinner, an Oakland Democrat who authored the bill, argues that the bill holds companies liable for their own products and practices, so it wouldn’t be preempted by Section 230. Part of the government’s job, she said, “is to protect consumers from harmful business practices. That’s a very classic role of government.”
But, said Cope with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, “if you look at a bill like this, the crux of the problem is content.” The bill is structured to make platforms “responsible for bad content reaching young people,” so the federal law should pre-empt it, she said. The features, in other words, aren’t a problem when they’re showing #vanlife and knitting videos to young users, but when they’re serving up starvation diet tips, they are.
Public may be left in suspense
Last week the bill was sent to the Senate Appropriations Committee and added to a special pile of bills that the committee will analyze for costs and benefits. That pile of bills — known as the “suspense file” — is officially about budget analysis. Unofficially, it’s also a politically expedient place for lawmakers to kill bills without taking any heat. That’s because, unlike other votes that state legislators take, votes on suspense file bills are kept secret. If a bill never makes it out of the special pile, the public doesn’t know whose votes led to its demise.
A version of the bill was introduced last year. No legislator voted against it publicly, but the bill was put on suspense file and died there.
This year’s bill “could suffer that fate,” said Skinner, “but I’m hopeful that the amount of increased awareness, increased evidence and action by other states will hopefully put it in much better shape,” she said.
LOS LEGISLADORES QUIEREN MÁS REGULACIÓN PARA LAS REDES SOCIALES. ESTOS SON LOS OBSTÁCULOS LEGALES QUE PODRÍA ENFRENTAR
Un proyecto de ley de California responsabilizaría legalmente a las empresas de redes sociales por volver adictos a los niños a sus plataformas. Los cabilderos tecnológicos, los defensores de los derechos digitales y otros dicen que la propuesta entraría en conflicto con la ley federal y la Constitución de los EE.UU.

Cuando Sophie Szew descargó Instagram por primera vez en su fiesta de cumpleaños número 10, estuvo expuesta a una ráfaga de información que “promovía los trastornos alimentarios”, dijo a los legisladores de California. A los 15, dijo, estaba siguiendo “todos los regímenes de inanición recomendados” por la página “explorar” de Instagram.
Szew, que ahora tiene 20 años, habló en Sacramento en una audiencia del Senado en abril en apoyo de un proyecto de ley expansivo que se está abriendo paso en la Legislatura. Este responsabilizaría legalmente a las empresas por el uso de algoritmos y características de diseño que vuelven adictos a los jóvenes.
“Hoy me acompaña una generación que sabe muy bien lo que es ser dañado por sistemas defectuosos”, dijo.
Los últimos años han visto un goteo constante de investigaciones e informes sobre los efectos de las redes sociales en los adolescentes. Eso se ha traducido en una corriente de actividad legislativa en todo el país, con varios estados aprobando o considerando leyes que regulan la forma en que las empresas de redes sociales hacen negocios.
En 2022, cuando los investigadores de una organización sin fines de lucro crearon perfiles de TikTok que se hacían pasar por niñas de 13 años en los EE.UU, Reino Unido, Australia y Canadá, descubrieron que TikTok recomendaba contenido suicida en 2.6 minutos y contenido sobre trastornos alimentarios en 8 minutos.
En 2021, después de que un denunciante filtrara documentos, el Wall Street Journal informó que los investigadores de Meta, anteriormente conocido como Facebook, descubrieron que el 32% de las adolescentes dijeron que cuando se sentían mal con sus cuerpos, Instagram las hacía sentir peor. Meta es propietaria de Instagram.
CalMatters se comunicó con Twitter, Reddit, Mastodon, TikTok y Meta, que
también es propietaria de WhatsApp, para hacer comentarios. La bandeja de entrada de prensa de Twitter respondió automáticamente con un emoji de caca. Reddit, Mastodon y TikTok no respondieron.
En un comunicado, la directora global de seguridad de Meta, Antigone Davis, escribió que Meta quiere que los adolescentes estén seguros en línea: “No permitimos contenido que promueva el suicidio, las autolesiones o los trastornos alimentarios, y eliminamos o tomamos medidas del contenido. en adelante, identificamos más del 99% antes de que nos lo informen”.
Rachel Holland, una vocera de Meta, ofreció información sobre una variedad de funciones que los adolescentes y los padres pueden usar para dar forma a lo que ven los jóvenes, como una configuración que hace que los nuevos usuarios adolescentes tengan menos probabilidades de encontrar contenido sensible y una función que les avisa cuando han estado viendo el mismo tipo de contenido durante un tiempo.
Lo que hace el proyecto de ley de California
El proyecto de ley apunta a cómo las empresas de redes sociales ofrecen contenido a los jóvenes menores de 18 años. Específicamente, prohíbe que las empresas de redes sociales utilicen un diseño, algoritmo, característica o práctica que las empresas saben (o deberían saber) hace que los jóvenes:
• Desarrollar un trastorno alimentario, infligirse daño a sí mismos o a otros, o volverse adictos a la plataforma de redes sociales;
• Recibir contenido que facilite la compra de sustancias controladas, como opioides; que facilita el suicidio ofreciendo información sobre cómo morir por suicidio; o facilita la venta de armas ilegalmente.
Cubre empresas de redes sociales que ganan más de $100 millones en ingresos por año y tienen usuarios en California. Las empresas que violen la ley podrían ser demandadas por abogados públicos y enfrentarían multas de
hasta $250,000 por violación.
Pero el proyecto de ley también crea una forma en que las empresas pueden protegerse de las demandas: mediante la auditoría de sus diseños, algoritmos, funciones y más, al menos trimestralmente, para determinar su potencial para causar los daños enumerados en el proyecto de ley y corregir los problemas dentro de los 30 días.
“Si miras un proyecto de ley como este, el punto decisivo del problema es el contenido”.

California no es el único estado donde los legisladores buscan regular las plataformas de redes sociales. En marzo, el gobernador de Utah promulgó un proyecto de ley similar, además de otra ley que instituye un toque de queda en las redes sociales para los adolescentes de Utah menores de 18 años y requiere que los adolescentes obtengan el permiso de sus padres para configurar cuentas en las redes sociales. Arkansas también aprobó una ley que requiere el permiso de los padres para que los adolescentes creen cuentas en las redes sociales. Los legisladores estatales de Nueva Jersey están considerando un proyecto de ley que prohíbe a las empresas de redes sociales utilizar funciones que hagan adictos a los niños, y los legisladores de Minnesota también están considerando un proyecto de ley de redes sociales. Luego, están los proyectos de ley que regularían las redes sociales con un objetivo diferente: Texas aprobó una ley que hizo ilegal prohibir a los usuarios en función de sus “puntos de vista”, y Florida también aprobó una ley que restringe la capacidad de las plataformas para prohibir a los usuarios.
Además de todas las nuevas propuestas, hay una gran cantidad de demandas que se abren camino en los tribunales y que podrían remodelar la regulación de las redes sociales. Las leyes de Texas y Florida fueron impugnadas por violar la Primera Enmienda; la Corte Suprema decidirá su destino. Se han agrupado más de 80 casos en una demanda gigante, en la que los demandantes dicen que las plataformas de redes sociales

son esencialmente productos defectuosos, como una tostadora que explota, porque crean adicción a los niños.
Proyecto de ley de California podría enfrentar obstáculos legales
Si el proyecto de ley de California se convirtiera en ley, ¿sería capaz de esquivar y abrirse camino a través de los desafíos legales?
Los cabilderos de la industria tecnológica, así como algunos defensores de los derechos digitales y expertos en leyes de Internet, dicen que el proyecto de ley chocaría inmediatamente con la Primera Enmienda de la Constitución de los EE.UU. y la ley federal. Ambos superan o “se adelantan” en la jerga de los abogados, las leyes de California.
El proyecto de ley está en conflicto con la Constitución porque la Corte Suprema generalmente ha interpretado que la Primera Enmienda protege las decisiones editoriales de los editores, dijo Sophia Cope, abogada principal de la Electronic Frontier Foundation, organización sin fines de lucro, que se opone al proyecto de ley. Los periódicos deciden su diseño, lo que va en la portada y qué imágenes usar, dijo Cope. Las plataformas de redes sociales están haciendo cosas similares a las de los editores en línea cuando toman decisiones sobre cómo se muestra, comparte o promociona el contenido, dijo.
Este proyecto de ley “va directamente al corazón de la discreción editorial de estas plataformas”, dijo Cope.
“Es la Primera Enmienda la que restringe la capacidad de los legisladores para controlar el flujo de información hacia los niños” en la medida en que los legisladores deseen, estuvo de acuerdo Eric Goldman, profesor de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Santa Clara y experto en derecho de Internet. Su ejemplo: un caso de la Corte Suprema de 1997 sobre si una ley que prohibía la transmisión de pornografía o mensajes “obscenos o indecentes” a los niños violaba la primera enmienda. El Tribunal Supremo decidió por unanimidad que sí.
Ed Howard, asesor principal del Children’s Advocacy Institute de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de San Diego y partidario del proyecto de ley, no está de acuerdo y argumenta que el proyecto de ley no viola la Primera Enmienda, en parte porque los algoritmos que priorizan qué contenido se muestra no tiene sus propios derechos de la
Primera Enmienda. Y, dijo, “no hay inmunidad general para dañar a las personas a través de su discurso”.
Luego, hay una ley federal que podría plantear un problema para el proyecto de ley de California. La Sección 230 de la Ley de Decencia en las Comunicaciones generalmente protege a las empresas de tecnología de la responsabilidad legal por el contenido publicado por
los usuarios en sus plataformas. Si, por ejemplo, alguien publica una reseña difamatoria de un restaurante en Yelp, el dueño del restaurante podría demandar al que la publicó, pero Yelp mismo estaría protegido, dijo Cope.
Entonces, una pregunta clave es si el proyecto de ley de California apunta a las características y algoritmos que ha dis-
eñado una empresa de redes sociales, para lo cual puede no estar protegido por la Sección 230, o si realmente exige que las plataformas sean responsables del contenido que suben los usuarios.
La senadora estatal Nancy Skinner , una demócrata de Oakland autora del proyecto de ley, argumenta que el proyecto de ley responsabiliza a las empresas por sus propios productos y prácticas, por lo que la Sección 230 no se adelantará. Parte del trabajo del gobierno, dijo, “es para proteger a los consumidores de las prácticas comerciales nocivas. Ese es un papel muy clásico del gobierno”.
Pero, dijo Cope con Electronic Frontier Foundation, “si miras un proyecto de ley como este, el punto principal del problema es el contenido”. El proyecto de ley está estructurado para hacer que las plataformas sean “responsables del contenido inadecuado que llega a los jóvenes”, por lo que la ley federal debería evitarlo, dijo. Las características, en otras palabras, no son un problema cuando muestran #vanlife y videos de tejido a usuarios jóvenes, pero cuando ofrecen consejos sobre dietas de hambre, sí lo son.
El público puede quedar en vilo
La semana pasada, el proyecto de ley se envió al Comité de Asignaciones del Senado y se agregó a una pila especial de proyectos de ley que el comité analizará en cuanto a costos y beneficios. Esa pila de facturas, conocida como el “archivo en suspenso”, se trata oficialmente de un análisis presupuestario. Extraoficialmente, también es un lugar políticamente conveniente para que los legisladores eliminen proyectos de ley sin recibir críticas. Esto se debe a que, a diferencia de otras votaciones que realizan los legisladores estatales, las votaciones sobre proyectos de ley en suspenso se mantienen en secreto. Si un proyecto de ley nunca sale de la pila especial, el público no sabe qué votos llevaron a su desaparición.
El año pasado se presentó una versión del proyecto de ley. Ningún legislador votó en contra públicamente, pero el proyecto de ley quedó en suspenso y murió allí.
El proyecto de ley de este año “podría sufrir ese destino”, dijo Skinner, “pero tengo la esperanza de que la cantidad de mayor conciencia, mayor evidencia y acción por parte de otros estados lo pondrá en una forma mucho mejor”, dijo.

Notice of Petition to Administer Estate of Guadalupe Revelez
Case No. 23PR194629

5. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administer of Estate Act.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: June 14, 2023, at 9:01am, Dept. 13, located at 191 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95113. 7 If you object to the granting of this petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. 8. If you are a creditor or contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either:
1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or 2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. 9. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
