A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction to block a California law that requires special data safeguards for underage users online.

The CAADCA is meant to expand on existing laws that govern how sites can collect data from children.

Judge Beth Freeman objected to several of its provisions, saying they would unlawfully target legal speech.
