During a LinkedIn Live session on 27 September 2023, IAPP Research and Insights Director Joe Jones discussed the latest regulatory law, policy and enforcement developments, and compliance considerations for children’s privacy in the EU, UK, and US with Baker McKenzie’s Elizabeth Denham, Lothar Determann and Jonathan Tam.
Over the past few years, regulators around the world have stepped up enforcement of privacy laws that protect minors online. All companies that offer online services may find themselves in possession of minors’ personal data. And so, companies that take part online should consider some general recommendations, especially in light of the growing body of youth online privacy and safety laws.
Lawmakers have come to the conclusion that new regulations are needed to support the online protection and flourishing of children and young people. This has prompted the recent proliferation of codes, laws, bills and regulatory guidance documents aimed at governing how online service providers must interact with young people. Key examples are the UK Age-Appropriate Design Code and the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act.
Baker McKenzie and Milltown Partners have jointly produced a report outlining regulatory approaches towards young people’s safety online in different markets around the world, capturing global trends and exploring regional variations. The aim of the ‘Online child safety: an opportunity to get it right’ report is to provide tech companies operating in this space with information on current stakeholder attitudes, an understanding of the direction of policy and regulation travel, and practical advice on how to navigate an often high-stakes issue successfully.
Baker McKenzie believes diversity unlocks innovation and drives market growth. Our key commitment is to create work environments that embody and embrace the power of differences. Join us for the final session of 2022 on Tuesday 29 November as we explore the initiatives created by our people, for our people and clients, supporting retention, removing barriers and promoting engagement.

TMT companies are often the first to develop innovative solutions and to face increasingly sophisticated regulation of key technologies they develop. As such, they have a unique opportunity to shape many areas including data strategies aligned to I&D, the future of remote work, and due diligence requirements for supply chains. A focus on data ethics underscores companies’ management of tangled data regulations and obligations as stewards of data. Additionally, TMT companies will also continue to develop and support innovative technologies to access and store renewable energy.
