EPIC Offers Comments on Vermont Age-Appropriate Design Code Rulemaking
EPIC submitted formal comments to the Vermont Attorney General on two proposed rules designed to implement Vermont's Age-Appropriate Design Code, which sets design and data protection standards for online products likely to be accessed by children.
Why this matters: Age-appropriate design codes are one of the more direct tools regulators have to limit how platforms collect data from and manipulate kids. Vermont is now writing the rules that give that law teeth. What EPIC says in comments like these can shape whether final rules are broad and enforceable or narrow and easy to work around. If you care about what tech companies are allowed to do to children online, this rulemaking stage is where it actually gets decided.
