The Center for Digital Democracy and 16 other Youth Advocacy Groups have filed a complaint to the FTC against companies who they believe have violated the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998. Although, COPPA exists to protect children from being tracked online by marketers, companies such as McDonald’s and Coca-Cola have been accused of violating COPPA. Now the Center for Digital Democracy is pushing the FTC to put in place more stringent regulations, which would give parents greater control over the tools used to track what their kids are viewing online.
