In English, please?
COPPA is an American law that makes it illegal for websites to collect and store information about children under 13 years of age. That's why you get auto-banned from most social media now if you quote the ancient "I'm 12 and what is this" meme. This law has existed since 2000.
YouTube knowingly collected information about children and got slapped by the FTC over it. Then they did it again and got slapped even harder. The second time it was hard enough they had to make YouTube Kids and throw any video that they determined primarily marketed to kids into YT Kids to avoid collecting childrens' information, because if the FTC has to slap them a third time it's gonna hurt.
i do!
