1. Comment - Hey, Sony, leave those kids alone: Settlement in COPPA case

   (Dec 11, 2008 - 11:11 PM)

   This doesn't sound sinister or bad to me. What it sounds like is a case of bad web design and lack of communication between all the individuals involved in the process. When designing and rolling out those online services they simply didn't think it through well enough in order to get into full compliance with that legislation and perhaps some people acted on their own without giving it much thought in any case. I know how annoying it is to deal with COPPA when designing and maintaining a web service. It's a pain in the bum because those things are never thought out too well. As it is, one million in fines to a company like Sony is nothing.
