The rules for protecting children’s and teens’ online privacy keep multiplying—and often do not align. New state laws are stacking on top of COPPA, while the FTC and state AGs are testing the outer edges of enforcement. For companies whose products reach younger users, the result is a compliance landscape with no single right answer: overlapping requirements, ambiguous age-assurance obligations, and enforcement risk that can arise even from good faith efforts. This panel will unpack the most consequential recent developments.
