Regulators are no longer just checking for a “parental consent” checkbox—they are redesigning the internet. From recent FTC COPPA settlements to the constitutional standoff over “Age-Appropriate Design,” the rules for minors have fundamentally shifted. This panel discusses the 2026 enforcement landscape—tracking the “first impression” court rulings that are defining the next decade of digital safety. We will also analyze how new data broker regulations are isolating children’s data from the broader ad-tech industry. Join us to see where regulators are winning, which state laws are stalling under judicial scrutiny, and what the “best interests of the child” standard actually means for your product roadmap.
