The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) has published a policy brief document comparing the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AADC) with the UK Age-Appropriate Design Code. While there are differences between the two codes, the Californian AADC, which was modelled after the UK version, represents a significant change in the regulation of the technology industry in relation to how children will experience online products and services. Chloe Altieri, author of the FPF report, said: "Understanding the requirements of both the UK and California codes, and in particular where they differ, is critical for companies in the US and abroad who may soon be covered under one – or both – codes."
