Partner Adam Polk was recently featured in Law.com weighing in on the landmark complaint filed by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier against Roku Inc., alleging illegal collection and sale of children’s personal data.
Filed under Florida’s Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR), the case could have far-reaching implications for Big Tech and the broader children’s privacy landscape.
