Built the 5Rights Foundation and drafted the UK's Age-Appropriate Design Code, now echoed by regulators abroad.

Beeban Kidron founded the 5Rights Foundation, an organization working to ensure children's rights are respected in the digital world, and is credited as the architect of the UK's Age-Appropriate Design Code. The code sets binding standards for how online services must treat child users, covering defaults, data collection, and design features aimed at keeping children safe, and has influenced similar design-code proposals in other countries. Kidron's work sits at the intersection of children's rights advocacy and technology regulation, pushing lawmakers and platforms to build safeguards into products by design rather than leaving protection to parents alone.
