COPPA known as The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, created
to place parents in control over what private information gathered from children
when using the Internet. The Act protects children under 13 from the dangers and unknowns of
the Internet. The Rule is geared toward operators of online services and profitable
websites that use and disclose information from children under 13, and operators of
general online services and viewer’s websites that disclose this information as well ("Federal
Trade Commission," 1999). In 2000 of October, (CIPA) the Children’s Internet Protection Act
was approved, this rule authorizes libraries and public educational institutions that receive
discounted telecommunications from federal funds, Internet access, or internal connections
services to approve an Internet safety policy and service technological safeties that block and
filter obscene, graphic, and inappropriate effects considered harmful to children
("National Telecommunications and Information Administration.” 2003).
Both The Children’s Online Privacy Protection, 1998, and Children’s Internet
Protection Act, 2000 were implemented to protect children under 13 from the harmful risk
of the Internet, COPPA protects children from releasing personal information without
permission of parents. CIPA authorizes libraries and public schools to filter the
Internets to protect children from graphic material while surfing the Internet. These two acts
work together in many to avoid mishap and keep children safe. Because of the increasing
popularity of the Internet it is a must that both of these protection acts stay irrelevant. Children
are becoming more
