    Doesn’t COPPA already require this for children under 13? This state bill raises it to under 16.

    I guess it comes down to the particulars. Is there something more onerous in the Ohio bill than in COPPA? Because I don’t think I’ve heard of any company seriously getting mad that COPPA is a thing.
