    Injunction Junction: What’s Your Age Verification Function?

    Age verification, digital ID mandates, and online safety rules are gaining traction globally, shaping how apps are built, distributed, and governed across markets. In the United States, Texas’s App Store Accountability Act is on hold for now, but similar proposals are still advancing and being enforced at all levels of government in the U.S., EU, UK, and more. These changes could bring higher compliance costs, added complexity, and new barriers to innovation, especially for startups, scaleups, and SMEs.

    Global Digital Rules and the EU Ripple Effects for Startups & Small Tech

    Tech Swamp is back with a timely conversation on what’s shaping curated online marketplace regulation and how some of the rules set in Europe are shaping rules worldwide. We’re joined by our EU policy manager, Maria Goikoetxea Gomez de Segura, to help break down why curated online marketplaces matter for small teams, what’s still evolving under the DMA implementation, what to watch as the EU debates digital simplification, and why standard-essential patent licensing matters as AI and IoT-related standards continue to emerge.

From online safety and encryption to age verification, curated online marketplaces and competition proposals, AI governance, and the standards and SEP landscape, we map what to watch and what it means for the digital economy in the year ahead.

    Digital Safety Depends on Encryption

    Encryption isn’t just a privacy tool; it’s the thing standing between your personal life and the people who would exploit it. And right now, governments around the world are debating whether to weaken it. This episode breaks down why that matters. We’re joined by developer and ACT | The App Association founder Mike Sax to talk about what encryption actually does, why it’s essential for protecting kids and families online, and how current proposals in the EU, UK, and U.S. could reshape the safety of the internet itself. If encryption is the lock on your digital front door, the question today is: Why are so many people arguing to take that lock off?
