Furry Youtubers fear penalties under new COPPA law, but it’s not as bad as you think

Yikes! That’s not a nice thing to post, and plenty of others are feeling afraid of being fined under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA.) The law is around 2 decades old but was recently used for major action about violation by Youtube. It seems to threaten a growing scene for furry Youtube creators:
- Furries are winning Emmys and Youtube Creator Awards.
- More Furry YouTubers You Might Not Have Seen
- Furry YouTubers You Might Not Have Seen
Sadly I might have to say goodbye to youtube. The new COPPA laws may put a lot of furry youtubers under fire and possibly a $45,000 fine for each video from what I understand. :*(
