California legislative adaptation linking a UK policy model with funded local campaigning
California AB2273 is the 2022 Age-Appropriate Design Code legislation and campaign tracked here. It adapted a child-centered design approach for California, with 5Rights as a co-sponsor and a lobbying operation that generated background material, amendment exchanges and coalition advocacy.
Official analyses identify 5Rights sponsorship. The historical chaptered text covered under-18s and allowed a business to apply child protections to all consumers instead of estimating age. Omidyar's September 2022 statement credited coalition support with Reset, while Capitol Connection's filing logs document lobbying and amendment negotiations. Kidron advocated retaining under-18 coverage, but the retained records do not attribute that final provision exclusively to her. Present enforcement and litigation are outside this historical profile.
