Impactful Policy Frameworks
American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA) (Proposed, 2022)
This proposed antitrust legislation aims to prevent dominant online platforms from engaging in self-preferencing and discriminating against smaller businesses.
While not directly targeting non-profits, if enacted, it could influence how TED's content is distributed through major online platforms, potentially impacting visibility and reach.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) (Last Amended 2013)
COPPA imposes requirements on operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13 years of age, or who have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from children under 13.
Given TED-Ed's educational content, TED must ensure strict compliance to avoid collecting personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent, impacting data collection and platform design.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) (Effective 2020, amended by CPRA effective 2023)
The CCPA (and its amendment, the CPRA) grants California consumers extensive rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale or sharing of their data.
TED, as a global platform, must implement robust data privacy practices and transparently manage user data to comply with CCPA/CPRA, potentially influencing user data collection and consent mechanisms for all US users.
