COPPA at 20: Protecting Children’s Privacy in the New Digital Era

WHAT

Two decades of digital advances have dramatically changed the ways in which children interact with the internet, and the way big data is collected. How well are COPPA and regulators keeping up with challenges to children’s privacy and wellbeing? What are key questions that remain around the interpretation of the law?  And what lessons can COPPA provide around novel approaches to self-regulation, the enforcement landscape and the future of broader privacy regulations? FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter will deliver an opening key note followed by three panel discussions among tech and privacy experts from industry, consumer protection groups and academia, and a message from Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA).

Hosts include Georgetown Law’s Institute for Technology Law & Policy, Future of Privacy Forum, Common Sense, Consumers Union, and the Center for Democracy & Technology.
