Le Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act (ci-après, le « Cloud Act ») a été promulgué par le Président des Etats-Unis le 23 mars 2018.

Draft Bill Regulating Minors’ Access To Social Media: What Companies Need To Prepare For

France has definitively adopted Bill No. 339, establishing a general prohibition on access to online social networking services for children under fifteen years of age.
