On December 20, the Federal Trade Commission released a notice of proposed rulemaking to update the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule, known as the “COPPA Rule.” (We are linking to the official version of the proposed rule that was published in the Federal Register on January 11.) In a press release published on December 20, the FTC announced that the proposed amendments “would place new restrictions on the use and disclosure of children’s personal information and further limit the ability of companies to condition access to services on monetizing children’s data.”
