We Must Stop COPPA!

COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) has started on YouTube since January 7. What's now going to happen to the content creators?
If your channel is kid-friendly, you will lose ads (you won't get payed anymore), the community tab, people won't be able to comment on your videos, people won't be able to save to watch for later, and much more. In words, if you make kid-friendly videos, you're not going to do good.
If you put your videos as not for kids when the rules say it's for kids, which are really vague, you will be fined $42,000.
"This COPPA shit is terrifying," Danielle Pitts (aka Doopie), a YouTube animator and voice actor, tweeted. "My videos aren't directed to children but I can still get fined $42k for marking my videos as meant for adults because it isn't mature enough? Because it can easily be mistaken?? I'm heartbroken. YouTube was my dream."
Logan Thirtyacre, a YouTube plush channel posted on Instagram, "The new YouTube rules will not allow us to make videos with Nintendo characters because they are children's characters. We are using our own characters so we will be able to go back to making funny inappropriate jokes with no filters." He can not use Nintendo characters anymore because it's "kid-friendly" because it appeals to children.
Just because something may have an appeal to children does not mean it also doesn't appeal to adults. Adults and older children can enjoy the same thing as children do. Video games, animation, and more.
COPPA won't very effective in order to "protect kids" and at the same time, it will hurt the content creators when they are doing their job. The kids can lie about their age! It's the parent's job to see what their children are watching, and the parents aren't doing their job. They are blaming the creators, but they are doing their job to try to make a living. And now kid-friendly creators aren't able to make a living anymore. Because the parents aren't doing their job!

This is like saying that one kid in the class is being disruptive and the entire class gets punished for what the one kid has done.

FTC is violating the first amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Content creators can't post what they want, especially if it's for a living. It isn't fair to content creators! Isn't the United States supposed to be free on the internet? Well, now you aren't. You can't post what you want anymore.
Some Youtubers have quit YouTube because of COPPA. This could be the end of YouTube.

Very recently, the legislation has now required parental consent before companies can collect personal data from children under 16, which before it was children under 13. This is not fair for the creators!

Sign and share this petition to tell the FTC that this is completely unnecessary and will harm creators on YouTube. Tell them that it's also the parent's job to protect their children from the internet, not the government.
