A preliminary 3.0-magnitude earthquake rattled parts of Malibu Saturday afternoon, according to the United States Geological Survey.

The temblor occurred at 2:15 p.m. roughly 3 miles from Malibu at a depth of about 6 miles, the agency reported.

Residents in Long Beach, the South Bay and various parts of Los Angeles reported feeling the temblor.

No injuries or structural damage were reported in connection with the earthquake.

Law enforcement is searching for the driver of an electric scooter who struck and injured an elderly man on a sidewalk in Koreatown.

The crash happened shortly before 5 p.m. on Sept. 12 on the 2800 block of James M Wood Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. There, surveillance cameras captured a man and a woman traveling on separate Lime electric scooters on the sidewalk.

Video shows the woman traveling ahead of the man on her scooter and then crashing into a pedestrian. The two then took off.

Firefighters responded to the scene and treated the victim for a head injury. That man denied transportation to a hospital, LAPD said. It is unclear how severe his injuries were.

A hit-and-run report was taken at the scene, and detectives are continuing their investigation.

Electric scooters are not allowed to be driven on sidewalks and must be driven on bike lanes. Those who are traveling on electric scooters must follow local traffic laws.

In a statement, Lime said it is aware of the incident and is cooperating with authorities.

“Lime is deeply saddened by this incident and our heart goes out to the victim,” the company said. “We are investigating this matter internally and stand ready to assist the police in any way we can.”

Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact LAPD’s Olympic Community Police Station at 213-382-9102.

California will make it illegal for social media platforms to knowingly provide addictive feeds to children without parental consent beginning in 2027 under a new law Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Friday.

California follows New York state, which passed a law earlier this year allowing parents to block their kids from getting social media posts suggested by a platform’s algorithm. Utah has passed laws in recent years aimed at limiting children’s access to social media, but they have faced challenges in court.

The California law will take effect in a state home to some of the largest technology companies in the world. Similar proposals have failed to pass in recent years, but Newsom signed a first-in-the-nation law in 2022 barring online platforms from using users’ personal information in ways that could harm children. It is part of a growing push in states across the country to try to address the impacts of social media on the well-being of children.

“Every parent knows the harm social media addiction can inflict on their children — isolation from human contact, stress and anxiety, and endless hours wasted late into the night,” Newsom said in a statement. “With this bill, California is helping protect children and teenagers from purposely designed features that feed these destructive habits.”

The law bans platforms from sending notifications without permission from parents to minors between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m., and between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays from September through May, when children are typically in school. The legislation also makes platforms set children’s accounts to private by default.

Opponents of the legislation say it could inadvertently prevent adults from accessing content if they cannot verify their age. Some argue it would threaten online privacy by making platforms collect more information on users.

The law defines an “addictive feed” as a website or app “in which multiple pieces of media generated or shared by users are, either concurrently or sequentially, recommended, selected, or prioritized for display to a user based, in whole or in part, on information provided by the user, or otherwise associated with the user or the user’s device,” with some exceptions.

The subject garnered renewed attention in June when U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called on Congress to require warning labels on social media platforms and their impacts on young people. Attorneys general in 42 states endorsed the plan in a letter sent to Congress last week.

State Sen. Nancy Skinner, a Democrat representing Berkeley who authored the California law, said after lawmakers approved the bill last month that “social media companies have designed their platforms to addict users, especially our kids.”

“With the passage of SB 976, the California Legislature has sent a clear message: When social media companies won’t act, it’s our responsibility to protect our kids,” she said in a statement.
