Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (CAADCA) (2022)
The CAADCA, effective July 1, 2024, requires online services, products, or features likely to be accessed by children under 18 to adhere to specific design standards that prioritize the best interests of children, including data privacy and protection from harmful content.
Studio Hermitage would need to assess and potentially adapt its online platforms and interactive content to comply with age-appropriate design standards and data privacy requirements for younger users.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Enforcement on Dark Patterns (Ongoing)
The FTC has increased its focus on 'dark patterns' – deceptive design practices in user interfaces that trick or manipulate consumers into making choices they might not otherwise make, particularly concerning subscriptions, data collection, and in-app purchases.
The company must ensure all user interfaces, especially for any potential subscription models or in-game purchases, are transparent and do not employ deceptive design practices.
American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA) (Proposed)
This bipartisan antitrust bill, currently proposed, aims to curb the market power of large tech companies (covered platforms) by preventing them from self-preferencing their own products and services over competitors on their platforms, and from discriminating against business users.
If passed, this could impact Studio Hermitage's distribution strategies and relationships with major platform holders (e.g., app stores, game platforms), potentially leading to fairer terms or new opportunities.
