Maryland’s legislature unanimously endorsed a children’s privacy bill, which has been called the Maryland Kids Code, which if passed into law would make it the second US state after California to have specific children’s privacy protection. Key tenets are that companies would not be allowed to profile children for ads, not be allowed to track their location in real time, and they would be required to turn on the highest privacy settings by default for young users. However, opponents led by NetChoice are already gearing up to oppose the bill.
