Pinwan, September 16, according to NetEase Technology, California recently signed a Children’s Internet Safety Act, California will take broader measures to protect the data and privacy of Internet users under the age of 18.
The bill would reportedly require websites and apps to restrict certain popular features, such as allowing strangers to message each other, because it could pose risks to younger users. In addition, it will require online services to turn on the highest privacy settings for children by default. The new law forces online services to take proactive security measures, designing products and features with the best interests of young users in mind from the outset. The law could apply to many digital products that people under the age of 18 may use, including social networks, gaming platforms, connected toys, voice assistants and smart learning tools.
Many industry groups oppose the legislation, saying it is too broad and its terms too vague for implementation.
