Children & Online Privacy

By Brad

At the Washington Post, Cecilia Kang reports on a renewed focus on online privacy by the FTC:

The Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday it is considering online privacy rules that would make it harder for advertisers and social networks to collect information about children without permission from parents.

The FTC said its proposed rules would require third-party partners of Web sites, including “plug-ins” and ad networks, to ask parents for permission to collect information about users under 12 years of age.
