Illinois Just Told Every Operating System to Start Reporting Your Kid's Age
TL;DR
Illinois has enacted the Children's Online Social Media Safety Act, requiring operating systems to verify users' ages by 2028, impacting device manufacturers and app developers. This law mandates safety settings for minors and encrypts data transmission.
✦ Why It Matters
Review your software's compliance with age verification requirements to avoid potential fines.
Key Takeaways
- Implement age verification in your applications by 2028.
- Ensure data transmission is encrypted to comply with the new law.
- Review safety settings for minor users in your apps.
- Stay informed about potential legal implications for open-source software.
How It Works
Manufacturers must create an interface for age input during account setup, categorizing users into age brackets. Apps can then access this information via an API to enforce safety settings.
