COPPA feels pretty outdated in today’s online world. A lot of sites now ask users to confirm their age even when it’s not really needed, sometimes using AI tools that can get things wrong or push people to share personal info. This brings up some serious worries about privacy, accuracy, and how accessible things are online. The Electronic Child Safety Initiative (ECSI) thinks that laws about online safety, like the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, should keep kids safe without relying on unnecessary tracking or dodgy tech. If you think these laws can be better, consider joining the conversation and help push for changes by taking part in the ECSI community forums.
