What's a COPPA?

I've seen them everywhere, and have even gotten confused when one randomly messaged me in a trade, but what are they? Not even one of my friends who's played CS for a while knows

COPPAs are U.S. citizens under 13 years old. COPPA's a U.S. law preventing children from posting things online without their parent's permission to protect them from accidentally giving out personal information. Due to that, COPPA players can only post on the oekaki and dressup forums, and everything must be approved by a moderator. They can't send PMs and can only use prewritten trade messages. COPPA players get un-COPPAed on their 13th birthday.
