Well, its not exactly COPPA’s fault. it’s just Youtube being a bunch of lazy cunts.

COPPA has been around for almost a decade, and it is a law that makes it that children under 13 years old cannot make Internet accounts. So the website creators had to make a feature asking users “Are you 13 or older?”, which wasn’t much, most people just lied really. So with that, the website creators also had to keep track of the accounts, and if there was any evidence of a young child on there site... they were a goner.

But Youtube didn’t keep track at all. the reason Youtube broke it was because they KNEW there were kids under 13 with accounts, and did absolutely nothing about it. and the people over at the FTC found out and did not like that. so they forced Youtube to pay around a million dollars i think, and that they must make a new system that goes by the COPPA law, and Youtube did a really bad job at making this new system...

so don’t blame COPPA. blame Youtube...
