WASHINGTON (AP) — The government has announced new online child privacy rules it says give parents greater control over the personal information that can be collected from preteens on the Internet.
The Federal Trade Commission said the new regulations it issued Wednesday ensure that a 14-year-old law, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, keeps pace with evolving technology, including cellphones, software apps and social networking services.
