Dazed and Confused: Keeping Up With the Online Safety Laws for Teens
Friday, November 10, 2023| 10:10 AM–11:10 AM

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. Our panel will help make sense of this rapidly changing landscape as we discuss the current overview of new and upcoming legislation and regulation. We will also touch on 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, as well as emerging themes and areas of concern, from dark patterns and “addiction” to concern for physical or mental health or well-being and “harmful” content.
