S tates across the U.S. are no exception\, as the past few years have seen d ozens of bills advance through legislatures including the establishment of data privacy rights\, new requirements for online content moderation\, ag e restrictions for accessing social media\, and age-appropriate design cod es. Maryland is one such state\, as the 2023 legislative session included the introduction and advancement of the Maryland Age-Appropriate Design Co de Act (also known as the Kids Code) and the Social Media Regulation and S afety for Children. The Kids Code\, modeled after California’s act that be came law last year and the UK’s Age Appropriate Design Code\, passed the H ouse of Delegates but did not advance out of the Senate. The Social Media Regulation would require platforms to delete all data on children under 13 or face a fine\, and also did not advance this past session.\nThis in-per son briefing will examine these proposals in Maryland\, highlight new onli ne safety laws in other states like California and Utah\, and cover the si gnificant legislative efforts in Congress and around the world. The panel will feature state and national leaders in the regulatory space and discus s both the local and global trends in online safety. There will also be a section dedicated to audience Q&\;A to ensure that state-specific conce rns are included in the conversation. Lunch will be served. This event is free and open to the public.\nFor media inquiries or to register as press\ , please contact press@fosi.org.\nSpeakers:\n\nDr. Mary K.
