Article Abstract:

The 1998 Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which took effect in Apr 2000, was met by harsh criticisms from its intended beneficiaries. The law, which bans the collection of information from children under the age of 13 by online service companies, resulted in the removal of membership priveleges in some Web sites for children falling below the age limit. The Law was meant to protect these children from being exploited by unscrupolous online services firms.
