The Data Chronicles | Did the 9th Circuit just say that DPIAs are unconstitutional?

19 September 2024

Welcome to Hogan Lovells’ The Data Chronicles, brought to you by the firm’s global Privacy and Cybersecurity practice. This multimedia series is dedicated to the ever-changing legal and regulatory developments in the world of data, privacy, and cybersecurity.

In this Data Chronicles podcast, host Scott Loughlin is joined by Hogan Lovells colleagues Ryan Thompson and Harsimar Dhanoa to explore the clash between data privacy, regulation of online services, and the First Amendment as spotlighted in a recent Ninth Circuit decision on California’s Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AADC). This ruling, which found that the AADC’s Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIAs) requirements likely violate the First Amendment, could impact data protection policy more broadly as policymakers increasingly see DPIAs as a regulatory tool. Listen as they dissect the ruling’s implications for DPIAs and the future of using DPIAs as a component of kids policy.
