alt Hacker News> A joint statement by Buffy Wicks, the lead author of AB 2273, Jordan Cunningham, another AB 2273 author, and 5Rights Foundation states, “The Bill is practicable and realistic, drawing as it does on the UK’s Age Appropriate Design Code (AADC).”
How is Buffy Wicks so damn gullible with tech legislation? Her AB 1043 and AB 1856 (Digital Age Assurance Act), intended to protect children online and regulate Big Tech (but unintentionally criminalizing open source), was sponsored by a dark money influence operation from Meta.

She is actually well-respected with housing and transportation bills but I don't know what's going on with her tech bills.

We have dark money in the UK too and linked to the same orgs it just arrives via different channels.
The DAAA doesn't criminalize open source. Please stop spreading disinformation.
Well-respected by who?
>(but unintentionally criminalizing open source)
Why do you assume this was unintentional? Because she said so?
Why assume that the appearance of gullibility isn't the act of pretending to be gullible for gain?
