So basically we have to witness underaged users swearing there from time to time. Particularly back when the chat was still enabled there. I honestly do not like the COPPA law. It's more restrictive than it should be. There is a reason it does exist as one of the rules in the Terms of Use. First, there are some wiki content that are not suitable for minors. Second, there are some wikis that are literally not suitable for minors at all. One would be the Fifty Shades of Gray Wiki (I could you not, this wiki does exist!). If the COPPA law would not be enforced, then some underaged users would feel free to roam around wikis that are not suitable for them to learn at their ages. Now imagine a seven year old browing content about Fifty Shades of Gray (Pretty sure majority know what this film/book kinda talks about.)....

And lastly, the COPPA law is meant to protect the children. Not everyone is nice around, so sometimes they like to take advantages of children whom they find in the internet. An example is trying to solicit personal information from them. And then the chold would be so careless to give personal info out that these people could use it to their advnantage.
