Kids’ privacy is an area of increased legislative and regulatory attention. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which relates to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information from children under 13, has been in place for a generation. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) actively enforces COPPA and the FTC is in the process of updating the COPPA Rule. State legislatures are tackling online youth privacy and safety, although courts have been quick to stop these efforts, often on First Amendment grounds. In addition, Congress has renewed its attention on a variety of proposals, including COPPA 2.0 (which would expand kids’ online privacy protections), and the Kids Online Safety Act (which would require online platforms to take certain actions to protect minors). As a result, businesses are on high alert, wondering what this means for them.
