Webinar Summary and Recording
States are examining a range of approaches to children’s online safety as advances in artificial intelligence, age-verification technology, and digital platforms introduce new considerations for lawmakers. These efforts also raise questions about privacy, access to online information, and constitutional protections. This webinar examines the evolving policy landscape and the legal and practical considerations surrounding state efforts to regulate minors’ online activities.
Eric Goldman, Associate Dean for Research and Professor at Santa Clara University School of Law, examines how age-verification requirements operate and their implications for minors and adults alike. The session explores privacy and data security concerns, barriers to accessing online services, implementation costs, and First Amendment considerations. Goldman also discusses the distinction between protecting children from potential online harm and supporting their broader access to information and opportunities for online engagement.
Drawing on recent legal developments and his experience in internet law, Goldman provides context for state officials and legislative staff evaluating the constitutional and practical questions associated with children’s online safety legislation.
