Maryland Passes the Age-Appropriate Design Code Act to Protect Children's Privacy | Practical Law
Maryland has enacted the Maryland Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, a children's online safety law similar to California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, that will impose new legal obligations on entities that provide online services, products, or features that children under age 18 are reasonably likely to access. The law takes effect October 1, 2024 and will require covered entities to adopt privacy-by-design and privacy-by-default measures for their online services.
