Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) - 2018 (amended by CPRA 2020)
The CCPA grants California consumers new rights regarding the collection and sale of their personal information by businesses, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale of their data.
Shopify's CDN must ensure its data handling practices comply with consumer rights regarding personal information collected through website interactions, potentially impacting data analytics and personalization features.
American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA) - Proposed
This proposed federal legislation aims to prevent dominant online platforms from unfairly prioritizing their own products or services over those of their business users on their platforms.
If enacted, AICOA could impact how Shopify's CDN services are integrated and promoted within the broader Shopify ecosystem, requiring equitable treatment for third-party service providers.
Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) - Proposed
KOSA is a proposed federal bill designed to protect minors online by requiring social media platforms and other online services to implement safeguards against harmful content and promote child well-being.
While primarily focused on social media, KOSA could influence how e-commerce platforms handle and present content accessible to minors, potentially impacting content filtering or age verification requirements for certain product images or marketing materials.
