(3) All covered entities that operate in the State and process children's data in any capacity shall do so in a manner consistent with the best interests of children;
(4) If a conflict arises between commercial interests and the best interests of children, covered entities that develop online products likely to be accessed by children shall prioritize the privacy, safety, and well-being of children;
(5) Nothing in this subtitle may be construed to require a covered entity to monitor or censor third-party content or otherwise impact the existing rights and freedoms of any person; and
(6) Nothing in this subtitle may be construed to discriminate against children on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, gender identity, sex, or sexual orientation.
