Data Broker Radaris Loses Domains in Privacy Fight

A New Jersey court ordered people-search broker Radaris to transfer radaris.com and a dozen related domains to Atlas Data Privacy over Daniel's Law violations.

On August 26, a New Jersey judge found Radaris failed to defend claims that it violated Daniel's Law, which protects law enforcement officials' personal data and imposes $1,000 fines per ignored removal request.

California's Digital Age Assurance Act forces Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android to collect age brackets from January 2027, with open-source exemptions pending.

California's Digital Age Assurance Act, signed in October 2025, requires major operating systems to collect user age brackets (under 13, 13-15, 16-17, 18+) and share non-identifying age signals with app developers starting January 1, 2027, with existing setups complying by July 1, 2027. AB1856, passed in late August 2026, would exempt open-source operating systems under GPL, MIT, BSD, and Apache licenses and awaits the governor's signature. Colorado, Illinois, and New York have similar age assurance measures, and the EFF has criticized the law for privacy and censorship concerns.
