Tech industry group NetChoice has filed a complaint challenging California’s Age Appropriate Design Code Act (AB 2273) law that is aimed at protecting kids from online harm.

AB 2273, passed in August and signed into law by state Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom a month later, requires companies to analyze and address how their products impact kids, and forces businesses to implement certain protections for young users. This includes automatically placing such accounts on the highest possible privacy setting, and disallowing platforms from identifying the exact location of kids unless a clear indication of such activity is made known to the user.
