Paper on COPA CIPA and Computer Ethics

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the Children’s
Internet Protection Act (CIPA) are both intended to provide protections for
children accessing the Internet. However, they both have had some opposition.
 

Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:

1. Describe the main compliancy requirements and the protected information for
   both COPPA and CIPA.
2. Analyze how COPPA and CIPA are similar and how they are different, and
   explain why there is a need for two (2) different acts.
3. Describe what you believe are the most challenging elements of both COPPA
   and CIPA to implement in order to be compliant.
4. Speculate on why COPPA and CIPA define protection for different ages; COPPA
   defines a child as being under the age of 13 and CIPA defines a minor as being
   under the age of 17.
5. Identify the main opposition to COPPA and CIPA based on research and
   speculate on whether they will be changed in the future based on the
   opposition.
