A bill to enhance the protection of privacy of children who use school or library computers employing Internet content management services, and for other purposes.
Prohibits providers from collecting personal information from or about a child who is a school student or library patron. Requires providers, if they do collect such information, to: (1) promptly notify the LEA and appropriate State officials, or the library, and the FTC; and (2) treat the information in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) if the child is under 12, and in accordance with FTC regulations if the child is over 12. Requires the LEA or library to notify a parent or guardian of the child of receipt of such notice.
Amends COPPA to treat providers as operators.
