The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is enforced by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. It prohibits U.S.-based Web sites from collecting any personal information from children under 13 years of age without parental consent. The act states that parental consent must be given prior to collection or use a child's personal information. The Web site operator is required to provide a privacy policy regarding their Web site, along with what the information collected will be used for and who will have access to the information.
The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is an attempt to limit children's exposure to obscene material online. The act requires that schools and libraries that accept federal funding must track the use of the Internet by children. Software must be installed on every computer to block or filter any harmful materials.
The Child Online Protection Act (COPA) required commercial Web sites to verify proof of age before giving users access to sexually explicit material considered obscene for minors. In 1999, a permanent injunction was ordered against its enforcement.
The Child Pornography Protection Act (CPPA) states that the possession or posting of digital/electronic visual representations of minors engaged in sexual activity is illegal. The law is currently under consideration by the Supreme Court.
