COPPA is here but it is not for this wiki. In fact, it isn't even for Wikia. It is the United States law. I may not like this law but we have to follow it. Someone did that once on another wiki and it was closed when a Wikia Staff member saw it. I'm sorry but this is not protesting on the streets, which usually ends badly anyway, so I am afraid I can't support this. Besides, no one should be revealing ages anyway, underaged or not. If you go into politics in the United States, you may be able to do something about it. I have a feeling that most of the underaged users are probably not in the US, as there aren't really any other countries that say you must be 13 or over. Read the Terms of Use for more infomation. We might get taken down if we go against it and I don't want to lose this community. COPPA must be followed whether you like it or not. It is really there to protect children from kidnappers, murderers and another group that is very disturbing. This is so true.
