I have been refreshing the podcast app all day waiting to hear the @seanfennessey.bsky.social and Amanda takes on Him.

will I ever know peace

Where is the think piece on how TikTok’s content filtering policies are shaping internet language (ex: notsee, unalive, seggs)

FPF's recently updated effective dates chart is a one-stop-shop for key dates and links to existing privacy laws, enacted amendments, and broadly applicable sectoral laws (mostly health and youth privacy focused). ⏩ Find it here: fpf.org/wp-content/u...

Once again I ask why the California Privacy Protection Agency has an ordered agenda for meetings if they routinely jump around out of order. Going into the closed session right away? Perfectly fine! But then why is it Agenda Item #6? The numbers might as well be wingdings if they don't mean anything

going to repost this every month until I die

The district court in this case applied strict scrutiny to a prohibition on targeted advertising to minors, and in this instance, held that the provisions were likely to fail strict scrutiny. Seems like a big deal tbh. www.thefire.org/news/victory...

i think it's maybe cringe of me to post selfies on this app, but i purchased my first ever piece of Taylor Swift merch that i debuted on a webinar today so i wanted to commemorate the moment with a zoom selfie. Happy Data Privacy Week!

I need my tech policy pals to see the movie Companion when it comes out this Thursday.

Policy wonk pet peeve: keeping count of how many bills have been introduced on a given topic!!!! This is a number that doesn’t mean much in my opinion!!

Reflections on today's hearing regarding NetChoice's motion for a second preliminary injunction of the California Age-Appropriate Design Code 🧵 [tl;dr: it seems unlikely the entire law will be enjoined at this stage]

@futureofprivacy.bsky.social posted a redline that compares the current COPPA Rule to the one that the FTC just finalized. You can use it to see what this 2025 update removes, adds, or otherwise changes. Hint: The security section changed a lot! Find it here: fpf.org/resource/uno...

Two years ago, it was exclusively conservative states like Utah and Arkansas introducing legislation to require teens to get parent consent for social media. This year, I'm seeing the trend in blue, red, and purple states and it doesn't seem to be a "Republican idea" anymore.

For the Tech Policy Press podcast, Justin Hendrix spoke to Kate Klonick about the Supreme Court ruling on TikTok and Mark Zuckerberg's effort to ingratiate himself to President-elect Donald Trump. www.techpolicy.press/the-dumbest-...

How it started / how it’s going

another enforcement action in the gaming space that applies to kids AND teens 👀 bit.ly/3PCEosV

The FTC finalized the COPPA rule after 4+ years. At a time where everyone is focused on advancing protecting for kids online experiences, this is important work! While there is nothing internet-breaking here, there are several big changes. I’ll highlight a few below 🧵 www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

how do you keep up with being a ~thought leader/expert in your area while still maintaining some boundaries w/social media? genuinely looking for advice here bc i haven't gotten the balance right so far! 😅

The 6th Circuit has stayed the preliminary injunction in Tennessee, allowing the previously blocked law to be enforced. www.freespeechcoalition.com/blog/tenness...

The NJ Division of Consumer Affairs posted an FAQ about their new privacy law, which goes into effect v soon, and I can’t tell if this is an error or if this is how they interpret the statute’s requirements re: teen data.

Speaker Johnson wants a win for Trump on KOSA. From a news conference today: "We are very optimistic that if it's not done this year, that we can do that early next year with our Republican majorities because it's the Republican party that has been working aggressively to protect children online."

The best colleague Jordan saved everyone’s lives this week with a redline of the KOSA updates.

I read the newest Kids Online Safety (and Privacy) Act so you don’t have to. Tl;dr: the biggest change is the duty of care got some additional “reasonable person” type language, a new type of harm, and a new disclaimer that it can’t be used to violate 1A. Read my LinkedIn post for more!

anyways all eyes on KOSA again I guess www.theverge.com/2024/12/7/24...

how are you supposed to feel when it’s your job to pay attention to certain federal bills but deeply unserious people like El*n M*sk are now involved in those certain federal bills

Looks like a great discussion from ITIF next week on "How Should Congress Keep Children Safe Online?" featuring all the top voices in the youth safety / privacy policy space: itif.org/events/2024/... @baileysanchez.bsky.social

I’m speaking at FOSI’s conference next Monday on “State of the States: From Albany to Sacramento.” We’ll be discussing trends in youth privacy & online safety laws, including what the courts have had to say about which laws might be unconstitutional. Reach out if you’ll be there!

this piece is extremely well-done-- @miasato.bsky.social goes deep on influencer culture, the clean girl aesthetic, lawsuits over "vibes," & how algorithms shape what we see & what creators post.

I know some people who are going to feel some kind of way about requiring businesses to conduct "commercially reasonable age verification" as an element of "privacy by default" New York Children's Online Safety Act (S9953)

Just this week, there were three separate times where I used this report as a reference. This is going to be THE resource on state consumer privacy law. Read it, print it, bookmark it, etc. bc it has everything you need.

Will this do better the second time around??

I have no desire to write about post-election Takes™️ and it feels like that is the only thing there is to post about right now. Instead, I’m going to share my letterboxd for people to follow me. a screenshot of what type of insightful reviews you can expect from me. letterboxd.com/baileykinz/

Yesterday @baileysanchez.bsky.social @keirlamont.bsky.social and I filed comments with the New York OAG to inform forthcoming rulemaking for the implementation of the New York Child Data Protection Act. Our comments: fpf.org/wp-content/u... A blog post about the rulemaking: fpf.org/blog/fpf-sub...

Third time is the charm on being active on bluesky?

I’ve heard this place has gotten more hip and happening? 👀 tell me who I need to be following in privacy and tech policy world!

got logged out of bluesky weeks ago and forgot my password. Mustered up the energy to care to do a reset since Twitter/X have gotten particularly bad and I was hoping when I returned this place would be hip and happenin :(

making my Bluesky post debut with a bit about my personal philosophy
