Discussion Post
You examined two seemingly related laws: COPPA and CIPA. They are related because they both tend to protect children. Yet, as you read, they do not even agree on what a "child" is.
In this Discussion, therefore, it is time to start analyzing these complicated, complex legal concepts. Read, or re-read, the Chapter 5 materials on COPPA and CIPA. Review the weblinks provided in the Week 2 folder where official U.S. government guidance about them are provided. Conduct outside research as needed.
Task
Submit an Initial Post that addresses these questions, at the least:
Question I. What are some distinctions between COPPA and CIPA? Similarities?
Question II. Describe an organization that might be subject to both laws, and explain why you believe they both may apply.
Question III. Why do you believe that these two laws define "child" differently? Is it rational to do so?
Question IV. Lastly, feel free to add further analyses or commentary that reflects your understanding of the two related but distinct laws.
