These changes will give parents greater control over the personal information that websites and online services can collect from those under age 13. The FTC conducted a thorough review to ensure that COPPA's privacy provisions are keeping pace with evolving technology and changes in the way children use and access the Internet, including increased use of mobile devices and social networking. LEARN MORE
