An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

In 2013, updates to US Federal law regarding COPPA (the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)--caused a major effect on the American Girl Wiki and editing policies. Full, futher details are available here on Wikia. To sum it up, websites can no longer gather IP addresses from people under thirteen as this is considered personal information. Wikia, in order to comply with this new US Federal Law--since it is a US hosted site--analyzed multiple hosted wikis and chose to disabled anonymous editing on any that had a high chance of being edited by people under 13 due to their content--which included the American Girl Wiki. While American Girl has many adult fans (the head admin is in her early 30s), we must accept that the target audience by American Girl itself is eight to twelve year old

Thus, we are affected by this new federal law, and Wikia's option to comply with it.
