AG Tong issued new guidance on expanded Connecticut privacy protections set to go into effect on July 1, including major new rights and safeguards for kids online.

“For too long, Big Tech has treated our children like social media cash cows. Connecticut is now taking matters into our own hands with protections that limit harmful data collection, curb addictive features, and give families the control they need to keep children safe online. Connecticut has one of the strongest data privacy laws on the books, and we will use every inch of our authority to protect our kids online. We’re investigating Roblox and TikTok, we’ve sued Meta, and there should be no doubt that we are serious.” -AG Tong
