SAVING KIDS FROM THEMSELVES: A bipartisan effort aiming to help protect the privacy of children and young teenagers online is making its way through US Congress.

NEW YORK: A bipartisan effort aiming to help protect the privacy of children and young teenagers online is making its way through US Congress. 

The Do Not Track Kids Act of 2013, introduced in both the House and Senate in November, would amend the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998, and apply prohibitions against the collection of personal information from children and young teens to online and mobile applications. It would also establish additional protections against the collection of geo-location information.
