History

Historical Context

Congress passed the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act in 1998, and the FTC’s rules took effect on April 21, 2000 to curb data collection by sites that targeted users under 13—at the time 89 % of such sites gathered personal information without consent. Decades later, the law underpins Emily Moreno’s suit against Rep. Max Miller for posting a toddler’s nude photo, prompting a House Ethics review and potential penalty increases.
