A popular gaming site asks users for personal information like their name, age, and where they live. What law prohibits the site from collecting this data from kids under age 13?

The law that prohibits the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 is the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). This U.S. federal law requires that websites and online services directed at children under 13 obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children.
