CFA Comments to the U.S. Department of Commerce Internet Policy Task Force on Information Privacy and Innovation in the Internet Economy

CFA TC

We the undersigned Child, Health and Consumer Advocates write to comment on the Department of Commerce’s Internet Policy Task Force’s Green Paper on Commercial Data Privacy. We urge the Department of Commerce to support stronger protections for children and adolescents online. The “Green Paper” fails to address the concerns of sensitive users such as children and adolescents, and includes only a brief mention of COPPA. Adolescents and children are a significant portion of the online population. They are more vulnerable and less experienced than adults. Thus, a proper framework for privacy must provide children and adolescents with greater protections than adults.
