C.O.P.P.A.The basics:COPPA is a United States law called the "Children's Online Privacy Protection Act".The details:The law requires that we try to determine the age of a user so we can try to prevent a child's access to potentially objectionable material.In this case, the materials could include old images of naked or dead people, antique items that might recall bigotry or racism in our history, things which promote the use of substances back when they were legal, risqué humor, or other things that perhaps very young children should not see. We have no opinion on the theories or application of this law, but we require a birth year be entered to join. Your year of birth is never revealed or published.
