Liar Liar Pants on Fire: Being a Kid in the Tech World
summary
COPPA, passed Oct 21, 1998, legally bars under‑13s from many web identifiers and forces kids to lie to use Gmail, school accounts and banks; that lie blocks access to learning tools and paid services. Examples: numbers are stripped from kid chat, schools have 30 Chromebooks per class but unclear access, a Linux user sets up automated daily backups to cloud to recover corrupted files — a concrete fix that works. Claim: safety rules become security theater that reduces autonomy and opportunity.
