AI Companion Non-Human Notification #
The cadence rule cuts both ways: the notice need not appear more than once per day, but must appear at least every three hours within a continuing interaction. New York and California both settled on a three-hour interval, though New York applies it to all users while California's applies only to users known to be minors.
