Markey, Cassidy Bill Would Update COPPA Data Collection

Legislation introduced Tuesday would prohibit online platforms from collecting personal data from anyone ages 13-15 without user consent. Introduced by Sens. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Bill Cassidy, R-La., the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act would update the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, letting users delete personal information collected from kids and teens. It would establish such a digital marketing bill of rights.
