AB-1043 Age verification signals: software applications and online services

To Damon Connolly:

I am writing to express my displeasure at your "aye" vote on "AB-1043 Age verification signals: software applications and online services."

As the details leak out about how nakedly this bill was legislative value capture by Meta, it feels very clear that the negative impacts here were both something that your staffers should have caught, and that you should have taken a principled stand against.

Especially when large companies are spending billions of dollars to install similar legislation in several states at once, this is the sort of thing we call on our electeds to notice and to call out.,

I'm disappointed.
