Landmark child data protection law by Gounardes and Rozic goes into effect

Two new state laws meant to protect New York’s young web surfers took effect this week. 

Billed as the nation’s most stringent effort to protect children on social media, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on June 20 signed into law the New York Child Data Protection Act (S.7695B/A.8149A) and the Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation (SAFE) for Kids Act (S.7694A/A.8148A).
