The Situation with FTC COPPA raises some interesting questions about the survival and prosperity for animators. What must we face and what must we be mindful of in order to have a secure future? I talk about historic observations of survival and adaptation more broadly before going into some specific opinions and advice on preparing animators for COPPA specifically.
