Protecting children on the Internet is growing concern globally, and has been the subject of panels at many recent National & Regional IGS, including Barbados <https://livestream.com/accounts/686369/events/8320984/videos/178722214> and Mauritius <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/mauritiusigf>. Today's event looks at how the USA is doing. <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/DigitalCooperation> [image: livestream] <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/coppaat20> Today, *Wednesday October 24 2018* at *12:15pm EDT*(16:15 UTC) the *Georgetown Law’s Institute for Technology Law & Policy <https://www.georgetowntech.org/>* will co-host a half-day conference *COPPA at 20: Protecting Children’s Privacy in the New Digital Era <https://www.georgetowntech.org/coppa>* on the 20-year legacy of the *Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Online_Privacy_Protection_Act> *and how to protect children’s privacy in the new digital era. 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? Speakers include FTC Commissioner *Rebecca Slaughter* and Senator *Ed Markey*. The event will be simulcast on the *Internet Society Livestream Channel <http://livestream.com/internetsociety>*. *View on Livestream: https://livestream.com/internetsociety/coppaat20 <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/coppaat20>* *View on YouTube: https://youtu.be/X0mq4ZR0k9g <https://youtu.be/X0mq4ZR0k9g>* *Agenda: https://www.georgetowntech.org/coppa <https://www.georgetowntech.org/coppa>* *Twitter: #coppaat20 http://bit.ly/coppaat20 <http://bit.ly/coppaat20>* *Permalink* https://isoc.live/10641/ <https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/%E2%80%8Bhttps://isoc.live/10641/%E2%80%8B> -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -
