South Carolina is on the verge of becoming the latest state to adopt an Age-Appropriate Design Code modeled on the U.K.’s landmark child-safety framework. In this episode, we break down the Code’s key components — including prescriptive design, data minimization, privacy protections, and risk assessments for services used by children — and how it fits within the national trend of expanding protections beyond COPPA.

Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by [Laura Riposo VanDruff](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/laura-riposo-vandruff), [Alexander I. Schneider](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/alexander-i-schneider), and[ Joseph Cahill](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/joseph-cahill).
