Accountable Tech Statement on Governor Moore Signing Maryland Kids Code Into Law

Accountable Tech Executive Director and Co-Founder Nicole Gill issued the following statement on Governor Wes Moore signing the Maryland Kids Code into law today:

“Elected leaders in Maryland have shown that it is possible to stand up to some of the most powerful and wealthiest companies in history and upend the status quo so that we can give our children the future they deserve. Enacting the Kids Code into law will ensure the safety and privacy of kids and teens in Maryland and end Big Tech’s unchecked impact on their well-being. We applaud Governor Moore for choosing to protect Maryland’s youth over Big Tech’s profits.”

Accountable Tech is a member of the Maryland Kids Code Coalition and worked to pass the California Age Appropriate Design Code signed by Governor Gavin Newsom into law in 2022 – a first-of-its-kind measure to provide safety-by-design and privacy-by-default protections to children and teens online.
