The TAPP 2.0 Roadmap

The TAPP Roadmap, initially released in April 2022, was updated this fall to align the Roadmap’s considerations with new state laws and FTC enforcement action to set a robust standard for what companies should be obligated to do when processing teenage personal information and ensuring teen safety online.

"Companies that are not carefully considering the impact of their online services on minors are potentially subjecting their own businesses to poor ethical decisions, higher likelihoods of enforcement action, implicating their own brand image, and limiting opportunities to develop life-long followers, starting with their earliest consumer base: teens."
