Over 70 civil society representatives and academics (including elevenM) came together on Monday in Sydney to consider how the APPs might be interpreted under the Children's Online Privacy Code. Participants heard from Carly Kind, Kate Bower and other Office of the Australian Information Commissioner leaders on how the OAIC was approaching the development of the code, before debating how the APPs should be interpreted in the code. There are a broad range of critical issues requiring resolution, including (but not limited to) questions of scope, the possible inclusion or exclusion of Tranche 2 reforms, and questions of autonomy, consent mechanisms, and the balance between protection and the right to exist in the digital world. Industry consultations will be coming soon, followed by an issues paper. In the meantime, read more about the critical issues in this piece by elevenM's Melanie Marks: https://lnkd.in/gbAUDp6q #privacy #lawreform #childrensonlineprivacycode #childrensprivacy Thanks to John Pane for the digital treehouse analogy.
