Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule, online services touted as ways to keep kids connected need to comply with key parental notice and consent provisions of COPPA – especially when they’re collecting children’s geolocation.

FTC Commissioner Terrell McSweeny to Resign
I announce my resignation from my position as Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission, effective April 28, 2018. I am grateful to President Obama and Vice President Biden for the opportunity to serve during some important milestones in the FTC’s history including the 100th anniversary of the agency and its first Commission led entirely by women. During the last four years, the FTC took careful stock of the tools it needs to remain nimble enough to navigate fast-paced digital markets.
