It seems like every day we learn a new state has passed online safety legislation for teens or another court has enjoined its implementation. “Protecting kids and teens online” has been a priority in 2023, from state legislatures, federal agencies, Congress and even the White House. Despite some judicial and legislative speedbumps along the way, it’s clear that new US privacy laws are pushing beyond COPPA to offer protections to minors over 13 and that these emerging legal frameworks will fundamentally shift the way businesses operate with respect to their teen audience. Our panel will help make sense of this rapidly changing landscape. Join us to discuss:
- Current overview of new and upcoming legislation and regulation
- New obligations, from age verification to age assurance, parental consent and oversight, DPIAs, age-appropriate disclosures and design, privacy-by-default settings, to data minimization and blanket prohibitions
- Emerging themes and areas of concern, from dark patterns and “addiction” to concern for physical or mental health or well-being and “harmful” content
- What may lie ahead
