Background (via TechFreedom Web Site)
The first of two panels will explore the legal and compliance questions raised by the revised rules and the FTC’s attempt to address them in Frequently Asked Questions. How difficult is compliance? Might some aspects of the rules be struck down in court? What First Amendment rights are at stake? This panel will include six distinguished legal experts:
- Kandi Parsons, FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection
- Gabriel Rottman, American Civil Liberties Union
- Laura Moy, Institute for Public Representation, Georgetown Law School
- Lydia Parnes, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati
- Prof. Eric Goldman, Santa Clara Law School
- Stu Ingis, Venable LLP
The second panel will explore the policy trade-offs involved in COPPA. Is the law actually helping to protect children? How should we measure COPPA’s success — and costs? How much will the new rules help parents or hurt childrens’ media? Does COPPA burden some sites more than others? How should policymakers address children’s privacy in the future? These are some of the questions that will be addressed by a panel including:
- Maneesha Mithal, Bureau of Consumer Protection, the Federal Trade Commission
- Timothy Sparapani, Application Developers Alliance
- Steve DelBianco, NetChoice
- Daniel Castro, Information Technology & Innovation Foundation
- Shai Samet, KidSAFE Seal Program
