Program Summary

In September, California passed a game changing privacy law which may significantly change the on-line landscape not only for websites directed to children but any general audience site. The new privacy law applies to any website which has a “significant” audience under the age of 18. In addition to this new law broadly applying to general audience sites, the act also requires businesses to address whether its online services may be harmful to a child. Specifically, the Act addresses dark patterns – an area of recent focus by the FTC which just issued a staff report entitled “Bringing Dark Patterns to Light” only four days after the Age-Appropriate Design Code.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • What is required under California’s new Age Appropriate Design Code?
  • Which of these requirements should businesses be focused on now to prepare for the July, 2024 effective date?
  • How do the dark pattern requirements under the Age Appropriate Design Code differ from other federal and state laws?
  • What are the look-outs to avoid enforcement of California’s laws focused on dark pattern laws and the FTC’s new focus on dark patterns?
