What do digital platforms need to do to keep children safe? Platforms found not to comply with the Children’s Code may face hefty fines & regulatory scrutiny
Writing in this week’s NLJ, Robert Dalling, partner, and Abigail Dore, associate, Jenner & Block, explain the requirements of the code in practical terms.
They write: ‘Importantly, the code seeks to safeguard children within the digital world, rather than shielding them from it, encouraging opportunities for online exploration and growth.’
From privacy and geolocation settings to protection from targeted advertising, they set out what platforms need to do and not do, who is covered by the code, and the consequences of non-compliance.
