What is “made for kids” content?
According to the FTC’s guidance on the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), a video is made for kids if:
- Children are the primary audience.
- Children are not the primary audience, but the video is still directed to children based on factors such as the subject matter of the video, whether the video has an emphasis on kids characters, themes, toys or games, and more.
