Fr many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. Frm cmputers t smartphnes, a web f infrmatin is pen t them. Accrding t a new reprt, abut three ut f fur kids aged 12 t 15 cnnect the Internet using a mbile device frm time t time. Many yunger kids are nline t.
Julian Zeitlinger, 9, frm New Jersey, uses his cmputer t watch vides and play games. T keep him safe nline, his parents mnitr his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. "I ask my parents whether smething is nice r bad." Julian says.
Mbile devices ffer mre ways than ever t share persnal infrmatin. The infrmatin can be dangerus in the wrng hands. A study fund that 62% f children aged 8 t 17 have had an unpleasant nline experience.
Have yu ever had t enter a parent's e-mail address when signing up fr a website? That safety measure is there because f the Children's Online Privacy Prtectin Act(COPPA). The law says sites fr kids under 13 cannt cllect persnal infrmatin, such as a phne number r full name, withut a parent's permissin.
This July, the Federal Trade Cmmissin (FTC) will update COPPA fr the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were n smart phnes. The nature f the way kids get nline has changed, FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said.

COPPA desn't cver everything that can g wrng nline. That is why kids and parents need t knw what t lk ut fr and t stp and think befre sharing infrmatin nline.
"There is a misunderstanding that if a site is fllwing COPPA, it is ttally safe," says privacy expert ShaiSamet. He runs kidSAFE, which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe. "It's imprtant that kids knw hw useful the Internet is but that it als can be dangerus if yu are nt careful." he adds.

A. he stays safe n the Internet
B. he desn't play cmputer games
C. he cntrls his nline time
D. he desn't watch t many vides

A. It says n t any kind f advertising.
B. It prevents users frm making their lcatin public.
C. It cvers everything that ges wrng nline.
D. It bradens the cncept f persnal infrmatin.
