On 20 September 2024, the Bill on safe digital environments for children and adolescents including data protection regulation was introduced at the Chamber of Deputies of Argentina. The Bill emphasises that companies offering digital products or services accessible to children and adolescents must prioritise their privacy, dignity, and security over commercial interests when conflicts arise. It also mandates that default privacy settings should be high, unless the company can justify a different configuration that provides a significant benefit to the users.
