Don’t stop writing comments to FTC. By the way you can write multiple comments as a different person. They need to realize what they are doing will hurt creators and content quality. They extended deadline to December 9 https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/ftc-extends-deadline-on-coppa-comments-80383/

The only thing California leads the charge in is government debt, taxes, violent crime, and plea bargains, but yeah kids need to be protected.
Can anyone explain to me how targeted ads are dangerous to kids? So what if google recorded what you looked for earlier and later advertise you this or that product. It is insane. We are not talking about a crazy man tracking people we are talking about ads. There is nothing wrong with that

It is illegal and that makes it wrong. The reason that they are dangerous is because small kids can't tell the difference between advertisements and content. Now, I don't think that tracking is necessarily bad because it could help recommend content but if it is for the purpose of selling ad space, that is an issue.

yes, thats what we should do
I am not talking about in video ads like ryan has. I am talking about google ads. How is it illegal and wrong? parents want free content and who is gonna make it for free? TV has ads. The only difference online they can be targeted. It's not big deal at all or wrong. Content is expensive to make and people want it for free. It's like telling a regular employee getting paid is illegal and just wrong. Work for free
Guys, don't forget to leave your feedback on FTC site about the importance of targeted ads https://www.federalregister.gov/doc...-implementation-of-the-childrens-online#open-

The ruling to blindly enforce COPPA is short-sighted and will have significant negative consequences if implemented. Children will continue to use YouTube to educate and entertain themselves in 2020, exactly the same way as they did in 2019. They deserve quality content that positively influences their development which can only be produced by content creators that are able to monetize their work through ads or product placement engagements. In absence of a business model, most content creators will not be able to invest their personal resources to continue doing their best work. Nobody is denying the importance of protecting children and young adults, but it is critically important to identify a path that will actually achieve the desired objective.
Specifically on the YouTube platform, the tracking and advertising on children's content can be limited to viewers that are logged into the account and, as a parent, provided explicit permission. Collection of usage data and related targeted advertising for viewers that are not logged in can be limited in scope to a single session. With this approach, YouTube's algorithm will still benefit the viewer by ensuring that the recommendations are appropriate and are based on what the viewer is watching, but the collected information is ultimately discarded. This is similar to how session/transient cookies are often used in browsers to allow the website to function by maintaining the user's preferences as they navigate the site, but then get deleted after the session is completed or the web browser is closed.
This is a new problem which was created by modern technology. We can use the same modern technology to fix it.

targeted ads will not be allowed if they suspect the viewer is under 13. Recommending content based on that same data will likely be allowed. As for that genre of creators earning a living, it will have to be from non targeted ads based on the content or presumed audience, not 'known' audience.
