My next guest is Andrew Zach, Senior Policy Counsel at the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI), a Washington, DC–based nonprofit focused on making the online world safer for kids and families through policy, research, digital parenting resources, and industry best practices. Andrew and I dive into how lawyers in any practice area—family law, criminal, corporate, or solo—can build family-centered online safety into their tech stack, from law practice management systems and client portals to AI chatbots, social media, and messaging tools. We unpack COPPA and the coming "COPPA 2.0," emerging age assurance laws, parental responsibility online, and what bar associations should prioritize in CLE programming so lawyers can use technology responsibly while supporting parents and caregivers.
