Privacy Groups Mobilize to Monitor Kids Sites and Apps
Stricter online and mobile laws go into effect July 1

The Center for Digital Democracy, a privacy group that lobbied hard for the updates, is seeking help from more than 60 children's civil rights, advocacy and medical groups in monitoring websites and apps.
"We'll be focused initially on the major kids sites—Disney, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network—to make sure they respect the new rules and empower parents with the information and control they deserve," said Jeff Chester, executive director of the CDD.
