The California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AB 2273) is introduced in the California Assembly. The bill requires every business providing products that will be likely accessed by children to comply with specified standards of design and transparency as regards privacy and terms of service information. Moreover, the bill prohibits businesses providing products likely to be accessed by children from collecting or using personal data collected from children users. Finally, the California Privacy Protection Agency shall establish the "California Children’s Data Protection Taskforce" to specify the best practices to apply the bill's provisions and identify the list of products that are likely to be accessed by children.
