Comment on Path reaches settlement with FTC, agrees to pay $800K fine for COPPA violationsparent

With all due respect, that's between a parent and their child. At the very least, the name COPPA is disingenuous and misleading - I'm pretty sure if it was called the Ban Kids From Facebook law, it would not have the same level of public support.

Also, the MPAA rating system is not a legal requirement. AFAIK, there is no law which prevents 13 year olds from watching PG-13 movies, either in theaters or at home: http://www.theclyde.net/TheClyde_Ratings.htm
