"FTC Proposes New Rules to Safeguard Children's Privacy Online"
TL;DR
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has unveiled a comprehensive proposal to enhance children's privacy online, aiming to limit data collection from kids and expand protections for their personal information. The plan includes requirements for digital platforms to disable targeted ads for children under 13 by default and prohibits the use of certain data to send push notifications encouraging continued product usage. The proposal seeks to update the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and has gained bipartisan support. If adopted, the rules could lead to increased scrutiny and potential legal battles with tech companies.
