  • Updated COPPA Rule (Finally) Finalized Today

    April 21, 2025

    Today the updated Children’s Online Privacy Protection (COPPA) Rule was published in the Federal Register, finalizing the much-needed modernization to the COPPA Rule.

Finalizing the COPPA Rule improves the Commission’s ability to protect kids online.
