Overview

Noah Bialos advises clients on digital safety, children’s privacy, platform regulation, artificial intelligence (AI) governance, and human rights. He is an authority on the intersection of international law and digital technologies, with extensive experience providing actionable advice on user-generated content, freedom of expression, child safety, and responsible innovation.

As a former in-house counsel, Noah develops compliance strategies that are informed by business priorities, company values, and operational constraints. He works with a range of technology companies—including social media, messaging, search, gaming, generative artificial intelligence (AI), e-commerce, and cloud hosting providers—to develop pragmatic and principled risk mitigation measures across a range of policies and products. He advises on scalable approaches to online safety, content moderation, children’s privacy, platform integrity, transparency reporting, automation, misinformation, hate speech, terrorism, and regulated transactions, among other subjects.

Noah regularly counsels on California’s Age-Appropriate Design Code Act and children’s privacy and safety laws in Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and Utah, among other states. He also counsels on safety risk assessments and content regulation around the world, including the EU’s Digital Services Act, the UK’s Online Safety Bill, and Australia’s Online Safety Act.

Noah’s international law background informs his advice on cross-border regulation. He partners closely with clients to design and implement compliance programs and risk governance processes that reconcile competing obligations worldwide. He also counsels on terms of service; policy and product development; regulatory negotiations; risk assessments; human rights due diligence; parliamentary testimony; environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting; and the safety dimensions of market entry.

Prior to joining Perkins Coie, Noah advised policy and product teams on digital safety, new legal obligations, human rights, consumer protection, and intermediary liability as director and associate general counsel for safety, content, and law enforcement at a global social media platform. Notably, Noah spearheaded and led the platform’s Content Governance Initiative, a multistakeholder effort to standardize content moderation processes and build trust.

Previously, Noah served as a legal officer with the United Nations (UN) Office of Legal Affairs, where he counseled UN and government officials on law enforcement cooperation, human rights, armed conflict, sustainable development, terrorism, and jurisdictional matters.

Noah has lectured on international law and technology topics at law schools across the United States, and published articles in the Yale Journal of International Law, the Columbia Journal of Transnational Law, the Chicago Journal of International Law, and the Northwestern Journal of International Human Rights, among other publications.
