  • ban ads targeted to individual children
  • protect children privacy through 18, current laws protect kids to 13
  • prohibits companies from requiring a waiver from the law before access to their website or product
  • allow kids to opt into tracking and ads
  • will impact companies if they SHOULD know that their users are kids
