Erroneous assumptions in California’s Age-Appropriate Design Code Act
Over the last two weeks, we've continued to break down the findings in our tech poll with various media outlets. In case you missed it, the full poll and data set can be found on our website.
I was a guest on CSPAN's Washington Journal to discuss American attitudes towards Big Tech.
Will Rinehart appeared on Inside Sources to discuss the poll.
I appeared on American Radio Journal with Lowman Henry.
We weren't the only organization to poll Americans on their attitudes toward Big Tech regulation. I wrote about the three other organizations that did so as well and the overlapping findings in these four polls.
Eli wrote an innovation-minded response to Peter Zeihan's provocative book "The End of the World is Just the Beginning." Read the whole post for some encouraging perspective on the scarcity-minded news of the day.
Something to think about
In California, AB-2273, The California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act is awaiting the governor's signature. This legislation aims to protect children online but is deeply flawed in its execution. Will had an excellent thread responding to a policy paper on a similar subject, but it is also a good response to some of the erroneous assumptions in the California legislation.
