Also referred to as the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998.
COPPA has strict rules about collecting information online from children under the age of 13. It applies to individually identifiable information about a child that is collected online, such as full name, home address, email address, telephone number or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact the child.

John: Hey Paul, you do realize you can get fined around 40 grand per video for setting your channel as not for kids?
Paul: How so?
John: Because COPPA is going to sue YouTubers for not following their stupid rules.

A stupid rule for the internet, but mainly for YouTube because it requires all youtubers to become babysitters and quit doing their job because Karen’s kids type whatever they do and that Karen is too lazy to install YouTube Kids and because they get charged over fifty thousand(50,000)dollars if they do not follow this bullshit.
Guy 1:Why isn’t (insert generic youtuber) uploading much?
Guy 2:It’s because of the new FTC regulations called COPPA that are complete garbage. They cannot use bright colors or any animation, slang or pop like duh, dope, cool, games or even talk about stuff like sports, stories, or pets.
Guy 1:You’re joking, right?
Guy 2:No.

An unnecessary act standing for “Children’s Online Privacy Act” that is blocking “children” from making accounts on the internet due to hurtful stereotypes claiming that that are irresponsible, stupid, and are not capable of having any sort of common sense.
This act just adds to the large pile of strange and stupid restrictions placed on those who are under 13; some of them being from the government, and some just made up by society.

Boss: “So, how should we keep children safe online?”
Employee: “well, sense children are irresponsible idiots, let’s just block them! And to make it sound like a good act let’s call it COPPA!”
Boss: “Brilliant! And no one’s gonna turn against it because they know children are no capable of having common sense.
Employee: “and the children won’t be able to say anything because no one cares about their opinion!”
Boss: “You deserve a raise!”
