The earliest snapshot (Dec 19, 2024, one day after domain registration) and all subsequent versions contain zero references to Meta, Facebook, or any tech company as a funder.\nSite evolution: Feb 2025 was a simple landing page with the App Store Accountability Act campaign. By Mar 2026, it expanded to include About Us, Our Team, Resources, Donate, state bill tracker, and ASAA bill page. Featured \"Voices\" include Heritage Foundation, NCOSE, Ethics and Public Policy Center, Institute for Family Studies — all conservative organizations.\nThe complete absence of funding disclosure across ALL snapshots is consistent with deliberate donor anonymity under 501(c)(4) status, despite Meta funding being confirmed by Bloomberg and acknowledged by Stefanski under legislative questioning.",

Both use the same four age brackets (under 13, 13-16, 16-18, 18+). Both impose the same penalties ($2,500 negligent / $7,500 intentional per minor). Both exempt only broadband ISPs, telecom services, and physical products.\nKEY DIFFERENCES: (1) CO effective date is Jan 1, 2028 (CA is Jan 1, 2027). (2) CO adds §6-30-105(6) exempting developers whose apps exclusively serve internal business communication, enterprise software sales, or technical support platforms. (3) CO uses \"DEVICE\" (§6-30-101(7)) defined as \"ANY GENERAL-PURPOSE COMPUTING DEVICE\" vs CA's \"computer, mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device.\"\nLINUX IMPACT: Both bills define \"Operating System Provider\" as any person that \"develops, licenses, or controls\" OS software on any device. Neither bill contains any FOSS/open-source exemption. \"Covered Application Store\" is defined broadly enough to include apt, dnf, flatpak, snap repositories. Both bills would require Linux distros to implement: (a) an account system collecting user birth dates, (b) a real-time age bracket API, (c) integration with application package managers.\nTEMPLATE BILL CONFIRMATION: The structural and substantive similarity confirms these are template bills. Both mirror the ICMEC \"Digital Age Assurance Act\" model legislation.",

Additionally, Meta spent $518K lobbying Sacramento specifically on child protection legislation, separate from PAC spending. The combination of: (a) $45M ATEP for electing tech-friendly state legislators, (b) $518K direct CA lobbying, (c) DCA advocacy for age attestation bills, and (d) Headwaters Strategies lobbying in CO suggests a multi-channel influence strategy where direct lobbying, PAC spending, and ostensibly-independent advocacy organizations are deployed in parallel.",
