ALERT: SB 1074 — BASED Act — California Technology Legislation Take Action →
Keep California Connected

Sacramento wants to break the apps you love.

The BASED Act would make your Google Search results less useful, break Amazon Prime, and open your iPhone to malware — while raising prices on everything.

What’s Happening

A bill that could raise costs and break the services you rely on

The BASED Act would give Sacramento sweeping power over how everyday digital services are designed — from how search results are ranked to how apps are delivered to your phone.

Supporters say it’s about fairness. But in practice, this legislation would strip away convenient and safety features, raise prices on everyday goods, and do nothing to give consumers more choice.

That’s not consumer protection — it’s product destruction.
Rejected. A panel of California legal experts studied this approach and said no.
What you’d lose
  • Google Search results you trust
  • Fast Amazon Prime delivery
  • App Store security on your iPhone
  • Find-my-device when your phone is lost
  • Seamless logins across your apps
  • Affordable prices on everyday goods
No.
When Californians learn what this bill actually does, they oppose it.

What’s at risk

Search & Recommendations

The results you trust — degraded. The BASED Act would let politicians decide how search engines, maps, and shopping recommendations rank results instead of the engineers who built them. That means less relevant answers, worse directions, and harder-to-find products.

Everyday Convenience

Fast delivery services, find-my-device features, seamless logins across your favorite apps — broken apart by government mandate. The BASED Act would break apart the integrated services that make everyday life easier and more affordable.

Higher Prices

Everything already costs more. The BASED Act would pile new compliance and litigation costs onto the services you use every day — costs that get passed on to consumers and small businesses. At a time when cost of living is Californians’ top concern, this bill would make it worse.

App Security

Your phone’s built-in protections — weakened. The BASED Act could force your device to accept unvetted app stores and downloads, bypassing the safety reviews that keep out malware, scams, and unsafe apps.
