AB 2273<\/a>, the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, passed the state senate<\/a> and now proceeds to Governor Gavin Newsom, who has not yet indicated whether he\u2019ll sign it. If he does, the bill could raise legal challenges and major questions about the future of anonymity online.<\/p>\n AB 2273 was one of several online regulations floated by California lawmakers. Aimed at making online platforms safer for children, it requires web services \u201clikely to be accessed by children\u201d to conduct a survey assessing the potential risks for users under 18. Among many other measures, the sites must limit using personal information from minors and avoid collecting geolocation data unless \u201cstrictly necessary,\u201d among other restrictions. It similarly restricts using \u201cdark patterns,\u201d a general term for manipulative design features that isn\u2019t defined in the text. And the bill requires services to establish the age of child users with a \u201creasonable level of certainty\u201d to implement higher standards for privacy and safety.<\/p>\n If signed by Newsom, the law is set to take effect in 2024. A similar bill banning \u201caddictive\u201d designs for children failed to pass<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n
