 TMTG’s use of data to deliver relevant advertising and other services on TMTG’s platform places TMTG and at risk for claims under various unsettled federal and state laws, including the Video Privacy Protection Act (“VPPA”). There are also a number of legislative proposals pending before the U.S. Congress and various state legislative bodies, concerning data protection that could affect TMTG. At this time some states have
          laws restricting the use and disclosure of minor’s user data, biometric data and/or health information without notice and/or express consent of a natural person of the age of majority with appropriate legal authority to consent. If TMTG fails to
          comply with the federal and/or state data protection and data privacy laws, or if regulators or plaintiffs assert TMTG has failed to comply with them, it may lead to court orders, injunctions, regulatory enforcement actions, private lawsuits, a
          reduction in revenue, and/or reputational damage.

          Many U.S. states and some territories have adopted and/or are likely to adopt in the near future state privacy laws similar
            to stringent European privacy laws that require data mapping, consumer rights to erasure, deletion, and portability that will be materially costly for TMTG to interpret, implement and maintain. If TMTG fails to comply with federal or state data
            protection and data privacy laws, or if regulators or plaintiffs assert TMTG has failed to comply with them, it may lead to regulatory enforcement actions, private lawsuits and/or reputational damage.  For example, California’s privacy law, the
            CCPA, and follow-on legislation in the CPRA, provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that may increase data breach litigation. The CPRA also created a new state agency that is vested
            with authority to implement and enforce the CCPA and the CRPA. Similar laws passed in numerous other U.S. states with several that went into effect in 2024 and 2025 and other that will become effective in the near future. Additional U.S. states
            are considering, similar data privacy laws. TMTG expects that new legislation proposed or enacted in various other states will continue to shape the data privacy environment nationally. Certain state laws may be more stringent or broader in
            scope, or offer greater individual rights, with respect to confidential, sensitive and personal information than federal, international or other state laws, and such laws may differ from each other, which
