Maybe just protect everyone’s right to privacy?
Their enforcement mechanism ensure the opposite.

COPPA is a joke sometimes, they don’t really protect and like other American orgs it probably is lobbied.
The best case would be to protect everyone’s privacy, not just the children OR teens. And if they wanted to help then they would’ve outlined other orgs like Facebook - but that’s an American org.

Last year, 40 or so U.S. states filed a lawsuit against Meta over children’s protection, and that is by far not the only one, just fyi.

The difference is that an adult can consent to having their data collected by these companies, making the investigation and enforcement a more nuanced endeavor. A child cannot, so it all becomes far more straight forward and easier to go after the offending companies.
