March 12 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Thursday

threw out an injunction that had blocked California from

enforcing a state law meant to shield children from online

content that could harm them mentally or physically.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the trade group

NetChoice was unlikely to prove that the California

Age-Appropriate Design Code Act was invalid on its face. It

upheld the injunction with respect to some of the law's

restrictions.
