'COPPA' (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) is sometimes confused with 'COPA' (Child Online Protection Act).
COPA declared the purpose of protecting minors from harmful sexual material on the Internet.
COPPA, on the other hand, applies to the online collection of personal information from children under 13 years of age.
