Why COPPA and the FTC Are Doomed to Failure

- Well, you asked for it, so we delivered: a video on the Financial Trading Commission (FTC) and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Shout out to Arlo, by the way, whose video on this subject is probably a lot more useful if you want to gauge what's really going on: • My Channel Might Be In... .
This video might upset a lot of people because we're not actively panicking about the future. A lot of noise is being made about this issue, and people are rightly very worried. At the same time, we'd recommend exercising caution and adopting a wait-and-see approach until we find out just how bad things are going to get.
UA-cam seems to fall apart every other week. What is with this place?
Anyway, this video featured a lot more of Mrs Field's Cookies than we were expecting, we promise we're not being sponsored. On the other hand, if you want to help us keep the lights on, a donation to our Patreon would be greatly appreciated!
/ videogamestorytime
Anyway, we're interested to see what reaction this video gets. We're going back to something a little more typical next time. Honestly if this weren't a bit of a slow news week, we'd have been inclined to do something else anyway!
Lots of love,

"Meant for kids" and "watched by kids" are two very, very different things.
Vague and defined by your accusers. It's basically what ever the hell they say.
Yeah, they dont care tho
*looks awkwardly at MLP:FIM*
Watched by kids is basically a child watched it and Meant for Kids are FOR KIDS
And babies are just tiny, drunk adults.
Spoiler Alert: They aren't 'protecting the kids', they're protecting government funds.
Government funds should be unprotected! #GovernmentFundsShouldBeUnprotected
It’s greed...
Dang, that's rough 😐
Actually no its not about funding. If it was there be a lot more fines issues. UA-cam has Misled the law makers how much control creators have. I guarantee you the first time they go to enforce the law on a Creator it will fell. And they will turn their attention back to UA-cam. UA-cam is trying to shift the blame to the creators. Why are there so many stupid people on UA-cam
Learning Thru The Insanity I hope you’re right man because if you aren’t... we are all screwed!!!
UA-cam: No swearing or inappropriate content
Also UA-cam: No kids content
Also also UA-cam: Only cat videos, because THAT'S what everyone loves!
Everybody else: *confused screaming*

Tell that to the FTC. Lots of people haven't realized that making videos is an actual job.
@L B > I think everyone fined should sign up for a class action suite to go after UA-cam or Google.
And the government - get the Supreme Court to somehow pass a (non-binding of course) "Congressional Censure" telling Congress to (in the words of Jon Stewart recently) "DO THEIR JOB!" and not pass ridiculously vague laws that could make a crime out of (almost) literally ANYTHING.
Idea: stop introducing pointless laws and instead give your children ad block
Simple problems require simple solutions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Parents: *Lets child watch UA-cam unsupervised*
Also Parents: OMG OUR CHILD IS BEING TRACK WSMFISBD!!11!!! 1!!! 1!
Unfortunately, you are the babysitter! What about monetizing edger content?
I don't collect data on anyone. Hell, I don't even give a rats ass about my own statistics You Tube has generated for my cheesy channel. So how is it my fault that You Tube, Google, or Alphabet is collecting data on children? You want to stop this collection? Go to the source, not the talent.

*Coppa* : "Protecting Children"
*Also Coppa* : Might accidentally sue children under 13 for hundreds of thousands of dollars for posting videos on UA-cam themselves.
Kids under 13 can't even post videos on UA-cam themselves, because they agreed that they're over 13 by the time they created the account or are supervised by their parents, which means that their parents did uploaded the videos and gave the permission. That's the whole point here which actually everyone misses.
@@asmylia9880 *what if they lied?*

@@rayleeface192 exactly you probably lied about your age so the FTC could be making 5-8 year old kids in a horrible spot
Jbreak my dad made my Channel I’m also on iPad
Can't parents, I dunno, *pay attention* to their kids' activities instead of us having to fear large, unnecessary fines for our content?
Exactly... people/parents are getting more and more lazy, and expect others to all be "child safe" instead of doing their damn job and watching over their kids.
According to Mat Patt who runs the GameThoery channel, that argument that UA-cam should have used was actually NEVER made in their own defense.
No, that'd be too easy
Agreed, parents should control what their child see on the internet. Like, my parents didn't control me on the internet that much, i'm only 16 and i'm already scarred over what i've seen on the internet.
Can't say that my parents are bad, but my dad might have exposed me to videogames way too early...
When a well-intended law is being abused for pure tyranny.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
Business as usual, in other words.
This law was NEVER well intended, praetoriancorps. It was from the beginning a reaction to the Supreme Court saying "No, you cannot make 'obscene' artwork illegal!" when they threw out COPA (one P).
Ain't this law illegal in some way?
@@Fire-Manz If you're a strict constitutionalist, basically 70 percent of everything the government does is illegal in some way. The FTC in its entirety would never have gotten created if George Washington or Thomas Jefferson were president.

FTC: "We are protecting children!"
also the FTC: *might accidentally sue thousands of minors for posting art/animations/pets/ "child aimed" content*
This sucks. One of my friends is under 13 and he wants to upload a gaming video. I wish I could do something. But I am not old enough to file a lawsuit or anything.
How is art , pet's or animation onky for kid's though ?
I mean plenty of adults have pet's.
Plenty of adults like animation.
Also plenty of adults are into art.
The FTC / Coppa is so out of touch with pretty much everything and as such do not need to make law's about an issue they know nothing about.
Coppa has destroyed my UA-cam Kids toy channel WD Toys. Revenue is down more than 50% from Last Year. This is my full time job and I support my 6 kids ages 3-12 with my channel. Now I don't know how I am going to pay my bills.
Will file a lawsuit against UA-cam for their abuse of power and you will likely win because that's unjust if I was the judge I would make you pay back all the revenue they took from you and also other content creators 10 times over that means they will be paying for the rest of their lives!

I feel like 94% of UA-cam is “meant for children” according to coppa
They honesty believe that 100% of it is. The spokesman himself said "here you have a platform made for children" in his own words. It's mainly because UA-cam claimed that's the truth.
Doing normal human thing is meant for children according to COPPA and hentai is for kids too now...
@@jelagalam9839 It's not that it is "for kids" it's that according to the law, it could be perceived as being appealing to kids. It's a bad law and should be changed.

@@silorion9967 I don't know where you got that line, but at around 17:26 of the FTC COPPA press conference Andrew Smith says that UA-cam is a general audience platform (and that for general audience platforms or channels "you are only held liable if you have actual knowledge that the content is child-directed")

Other than some irresponsible parents that don't care enough about their children, no, it's spot on! 😔✨
So what you’re saying is 50% of the population consists of children taking care of children, or boomers. Is that correct?
@@brittanynguyen3794 More like "children" who are now in adult bodies who never outgrew their being way-too-oversensitive....
You seem to be the only one mentioning youtube as being a "bad guy" at all in any of this.
I'm honestly completely okay with what's happening here. I think youtube needs to die. It's become a behemoth of censorship and idiocy, and it's about time we see other platforms emerge from its ashes; ones that don't collect information and constantly shove ads in our faces in the first place. UA-cam has been shitting all over its content creators and users at least since Google took over anyway.
@@TheRealNintendoKid This. People should really start to migrate to other sites.

2. The Clickbait predatory Spiderman Elsa "Kids" videos.

@@poggersuni9637 thats exactly the point they are making
There's tons of cartoons that's not suitable for kids. Such as some 18+ cartoons. So, COPPA wants kids to watch any cartoons?
The issue is that old men are making laws on new tech that they won't even use
yeah. Also, the people who were complaining enough for the FTC to do this 3 years early (They revise COPPA every 10 years) was concerned parents. if they are so concerned as to request the law be changed 3 years before scheduled because their kid is getting ads about legos instead of beer then they should just put their children on youtube kids.
and old women, don't want to be sexist. ;D
Not only do they not know tech, they don't know media either.
Lockstin & Gnoggin
used himself as an example saying he makes Pokemon videos about stuff like alchemichal symbols, Ohm's Law, and even just in-universe religion. No kid watches that. But if the FTC uses out-of-touch adults to look at the videos they'll say it's for kids because it's Pokemon, and a machine could make the same claim because of the use of bright colors for all we know.
These guys just don't know what kids consume vs teens, young adults, or even adults just a bit younger than themselves. And now they're wanting to make career ending decisions they're neither equipped or knowledgeable enough to make.
@@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg Yeah, and think about another channel in that genre, The Game Theorists. They cover video games but......um.....there's an excessive amount of child murder.....
No, the issue is that people will abuse children if it makes them profits. That’s the issue.
In order to violate COPPA, one must be an operator of a website.
According to the definitions put forth by the FTC, an "operator" would be one who "collects or maintains personal information..." or "on whose behalf such information is collected or maintained".
Content creators on UA-cam do not operate, have any access or control over the website's software that gathers and stores personal data of it's users. Secondly, UA-cam does not collect or maintain user data on behalf of content creators. With or without content creators, the data would continue to be amassed.
UA-cam collects and maintains user information on behalf of UA-cam and UA-cam alone, for its own targeted marketing purposes.
By the FTC's own definition, content creators are not and cannot be defined as "operators" and as such, COPPA should not be applied to them.
Regardless, while they are mercilessly thrown under the COPPA bus, it's business as usual and UA-cam happily continues accumulating user data for their benefit. Let's be real here, we all know its not as if kids under 13 are going to stop lying about their age to make online accounts and watching videos that were not intended for children whether on UA-cam or elsewhere. So really, all this is helping who?

Godspeed.
I too am a youtube animator with the same dreams as you. I opened up this channel when I was 13 years old and had so much ambition for my own content. Now that the FTC is enforcing its scumbag rules upon us, it just isnt fair. I could lose both my videos and all my favorite animators in one night. Someone needs to stop these assholes. But those things aside, I think you should continue doing what you love. : ) I hope you become like your favorites.

COPPA - Don't "collect" data of children, CREATORS - incapable of collecting data. Is there a disconnect here??
I like to think that it would only apply to content creators that are monetized, because the targeted ads are what they're trying to stop, so I doubt they would be able to fine someone who makes no money off of the videos
Whether UA-cam creators constitute as website controllers under COPPA is probably the question everyone should be asking but nobody is
That was UA-cam's choice.
They could have just stopped running a system that collects the data of under 13s and everything would be back to normal.
Instead they chose to throw us under the bus.
If this is going to backfire on anyone it should backfire on UA-cam.
A misunderstanding ....which may or may-not have fully grasped ...yet. UA-cam is forcing the reclassification of a channel or individual video because they don't want to be financially penalized. Even though the FTC stated creators can be fined, UA-cam will also be fined in addition to the creator. So they reclassify the video in order to prevent themselves from paying a the penalty. UA-cam doesn't care if the creator is penalized by the FTC, UA-cam only cares if they may be penalized and will adjust content accordingly. UA-cam is now fundamentally changed! Creators will need to find other venues (video hosting sites) to attempt something similar to the golden days of UA-cam. UA-cam deliberately violated the law due to greed and now everyone must deal with the consequences.
Hmmm. I think we found a loop hole big enough to sue the FTC and get our money back, thank you!

Think of it this way: there are two city’s right next to each other. Adult vill and Kids vill. Kids vill is all happy and colour full while adult vill is sad and gray. You can either build something boring in adult vill and make money or you can build something colourful but make little money in kids vill. If something two colourful and happy gets built in adults vill, it will be torn down and destroyed. They would destroy it with the thought that kids from Kids vill will come over because of the colourful-ness and then be saddened by the rest of adult vill.

This has nothing to do with what kids like.
@@freakindarko the categorizing of the video does. But the reason why coppa is a law is not
@@variamente6855 The required categorization of videos is just a byproduct of YT's settlement in which they admitted to illegally collecting data from kids 12 and under. The only reason why you have to categorize your videos now, is so that YT can keep their data collection process turned on site-wide.
The law was probably written by washed up 60 something year olds because according to FTC, if you say words like "Yeah" and "duh" it mean you are targeting your videos towards children. I use those words often enough in my day to interactions with the world at large... and I am 26. The FTC is filled with out of touch jerks that want to line their pockets. Remember that this the same agency that hired Ajit Pai. I dont trust the FTC farther than i can throw them. And I have a weak throwing arm.

@@zekticezy Hahaha I didn't think about that lol.
The only people that should be fine is the parents for allowing their kids to be on UA-cam WHEN UA-cam IS FOR 13+ they shouldn't be punishing the creators.
And if you're not AMerican and don't live in AMerica why would we be subject to US law?
@@ashleyashleym2969 that's a good question too but it could be because you're using a US platform
True, just have a disclaimer of for 13+ and then make UA-cam kids require each video that wants to reach that platform be checked by humans. There will be less content but better curated for kids, then main UA-camrs wouldn't have to worry.
@@ashleyashleym2969 the platform is us territory like in fact all of the internet and outer space. Commit a crime on the internet or in space and you're liable under American law. And America can demand your deportation to America from your homestate. And if it is not China or Russia they are guaranteed to comply.
@@________dQw4w9WgXcQ that is what UA-cam did.. It cost them $170 Million Dollars. They said.. This is only for 13+. The FTC doesn't believe them.
They made it so vague that everybody can and will get screwed
Yeah, no joke, but they can remove my video because they contain 'vibrant colours'. Thats it!
Yeah vaguely worded laws should be made illegal in itself as vaguely worded laws are the ones that are abused the most in malicious ways. In other words, the Idealogy that vague laws end up causing more harm than good needs to be deeply rooted into our legal system. This is because the best way to make a profit is by doing so immorally behind the facade of a well intention yet purposefully vaguely defined law. So those who profit the most from "legal" fines have a strong incentive to make as many vaguely worded laws as possible to maximize their profits and the only thing to stop them from doing so is a sense of morality which we all know by examining history isn't a strong defense against wrong doing in itself.
This has always been a problem with the human race since the beginning of human civilization and we still haven't conquered the issue and perhaps we never will but at the very least we can certainly still improve in this area greatly.
It's kind of funny but I think they'll need more lawyers. The sheer volume of people liable is insane. If youtube was a good company they would just take the hit here and make sure every account that is age under 13 is provided with all the tracked information(for their parents to view). Instead they announce that everyone is going to be liable when it's their own fault...
Let me be really clear here, creators have no say in who watches their videos. However youtube does, especially when you consider how they are curating recommended feeds.
back to the 1000s
Laws are written vaguely so that they can be enforceable. But that doesn't mean everyone and their dog is getting a fine. The sky isn't falling. Context is everything.
What gets me pissed off is that UA-cam are saying that this law affects us REGARDLESS OF LOCATION. So other countries’ laws are ignored? That’s illegal

They want big companies fined to get a lot of money and not the small companies
They also care for only kids, not the people that are innocent and caught in the crossfire
They hate google.
Every website that’s not already “age restricted” is in violation of COPPA. My 5 year old son can ask Siri about the FTC and she’ll take him to FTC.Gov where they will collect his device information, IP address, cookies and anything else required to load the website on his device. I actually called them and asked “who’s allowed to visit FTC.gov?” The representative said “anyone”. That means they are knowingly taking information from children (WITHOUT EXPLICIT PARENTAL CONSENT) who happen to visit their website. Of course, this includes most of the entire internet but my point has been made. Unless you’re website has an age restriction already in place, then, you’re probably gathering ILLEGAL information as stated below in the FTC guidelines....
a persistent identifier that can be used to recognize a user over time and across different sites, including a cookie number, an IP address, a processor or device serial number, or a unique device identifier;
Hehe......That gives me an idea! All of the users on here that have children....TELL THEM TO VISIT THE FTC'S SITE, HAVE IT COLLECT THEIR DATA AND SUE THEM OUT OF EXISTENCE FOR VIOLATING COPPA!
Does the FTC site create cookies, though?
Edit: just visiting creates a persistent cookie: www.ftc.gov/site-information/privacy-policy/internet-cookies
@@grimreads Something to look into....If it does, then we should complain! *Think of the children!*

Coppa makes article 13 seem like a garden paradise lol.
Not really, or at least not by much, the article passed but will come in effect only in 2 years from the day of passing. Passed in may so it will happen in may of 2021. The article was also an attack on freedom of speech and more but people made it about memes to help spread the message, which failed, (as in, it spread very little) and then almost no one further explained that it wasn't about memes but more about free speech (for us, it was corporate greed for them as they were being paid by all the big industries for this). They then proceeded to change the name to article 17 to confuse people and it worked cuz no one is talking about it anymore... :/

Well yes but no it's not totally UA-cam's fault so much as it happened because UA-cam screwed up but the new rules aren't their fault. The FTC is just being to vague with the rules of coppa
Honestly, UA-cam didn't even do anything wrong. YT's response was basically "fine, if you're protected under COPPA, you're not allowed to have an account on our website." Let me guess, they also have provisions against sharing accounts.
The problem is that the law is stupid and fundamentally impossible to enforce without 1984 level omnipresent surveillance. It is inevitable that data about children will be collected online by any entity collecting user data online.

Clearly you don't know what coppa is. It won't fail. It shouldn't fail. Just because you're dumb and don't understand what, Coppa is doesn't mean that it should. UA-cam doesn't have the right to collect data on children.
Being an under 18 content creator (despite feeling like a 18 year old), I feel like COPPA is stupid because, although they are trying to protect children, they are sacrificing so much that makes UA-cam for everyone else.
FTC:clowns are for kids
Warner bros IT remake:are you sure about that Georgie
Everyone needs to file a petition for the removal of this nonsense law. Everyone has a say on this law, and we say NO!
I think there is a petition for the removal of this law already look it up
I've learned from experience that petitions don't work.
Laws are difficult to pass. They are nearly impossible to repeal.
You have to address to your state's Congress men about this appeal for the notion to deny.
Cause regardless of the law, the country is democratic therefore needs votes for approval. The word the FTC and cappa are using are scripted to be viewed as good guys saying "it's for the kids".
@@Jr-shiungHu it all sounds good on paper but what does the law really accomplish? fatten the governments pockets with fines for innocent acts of kindness? and moving on to people simply expressing their interests (art, animation, lets play video games, commentaries etc etc etc.)
Has the enforcement of said law actually done anything useful? or has it only served to hinder kids or the content and collect fines?
where does the money go that the FTC fines? surely its not to the kids the fine seeks to protect.
in concept, kid's data simply would go un collected by default on the internet. and all would be good
in practice, the vast majority of the data is automatically collected. and basic human conversations can and will do the same. even unsolicited.
The law does nothing to prevent such happen stance communication, but everything it can to make a profit off it.
Further to restrict all communication because they can't stop kids from speaking is a Violation of the First Amendment.
"The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prevents the government from making laws which regulate an establishment of religion, prohibit the free exercise of religion, or abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the right to peaceably assemble, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances."
While youtube may make these restrictions, the government cant make laws that would require it because that limits the freedom of speech. to peaceably assemble (in the comments section)

The FTC is literally abusing their power. That is also something that we get punished for.
As Jim Carrey's Grinch once said.
"Wrongo."
The FTC gave UA-cam two choices. Use a data collecting system that doesn't record the data of anyone recognized as under 13, or make an effort to keep kid oriented content off the website.
If they'd gone with the first option we'd be back to normal.
Instead they decided to throw us under the bus.
