FTC Seeks Comment on Potential COPPA Changes for Videogame Industry

The FTC seeks comment by May 9 on a proposal to amend a video game industry self-regulatory program the agency approved under its Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act rule. The Entertainment Software Rating Board plans to amend its COPPA safe harbor program, the FTC said. ESRB potentially could alter its definition for personal information and data to reflect additional COPPA guidance issued in October, among other changes.
