Listen "Age gating the internet | Can we really protect kids online?"
Episode Synopsis
Across the globe, governments are rethinking how to keep kids safe online. New laws in the UK and the U.S. are driving a wave of age verification and content regulation measures that could reshape how young people experience the internet and how platforms operate.
In this episode of The Data Chronicles, host Scott Loughlin is joined by Hogan Lovells associates, Rob Fett and Georgia Crawford from London, and Sophie Bohm from Colorado, to unpack the UK’s Online Safety Act, the growing patchwork of U.S. state laws, and the complex balance between safety, privacy, and free expression. Together, they explore whether these new rules truly protect children or simply shift the burden to users and platforms.
