U.S. Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and Ed Markey, D-Mass., reintroduced the Children and Teens' Online Privacy Protection Act 2.0, which they said updates online privacy protections for children and teens for the 21st century. The bill prohibits internet companies from collecting personal data of users aged 13-16 without consent, bans targeted advertising to children and teens, covers platforms "reasonably likely to be used" by children, and establishes a "Digital Marketing Bill of Rights for Teens" as well as a Youth Marketing and Privacy Division at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
