Privacy News Roundup
We covered some heavy but important developments:
Florida’s proposed App Store Accountability Act – potential mandatory age verification infrastructure.
TikTok rolling out AI-based age detection across Europe.- Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling allowing warrantless access to Google searches (limited precedent, but worrying).
Large-scale fake banking scam network (11,000+ fraudulent domains exploiting SEO).
As always - stay alert, stay informed.
