The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has finalized updates to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA), marking the first revisions in over a decade. Despite the changes, educators and students are reportedly left without enhanced tools to safeguard their privacy. Various legal and privacy organizations have commented on the finalization of these amendments, indicating a significant shift in how children's online privacy will be managed moving forward. The updates aim to address evolving digital landscapes but have raised concerns regarding the effectiveness of the new measures in providing adequate protection.
