Re: New Federal Law (COPPA)

This is great, but I wonder how long it will be before ISPs and web hosting
providers are considered liable if a kid lies about his/hee age, reasoning
that the liar is underage and isn't considered responsible for him/herself.
It's still up to parents to make sure that their kids are surfing the
Internet responsibly, but I don't know that the law assumes this in order to
protect ISPs.

One website that collects personal data had a field for Date of Birth. If
you entered a DOB that meant that you were underaged, the webpage refused
to go further. Thus, the webpage could collect the data where individual
was of legal age but would just automatically refuse if under age. This
doesnt seem too hard.
