C.O.P.P.A stands for Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

COPPA

COPPA is a US law that governs how websites gather personal information about children under the age of thirteen. It details what a website operator must include in a privacy policy, when and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent or guardian, and what responsibilities an operator has to protect children's privacy and safety online including restrictions on the marketing to those under 13.

COPPA & FANDOM

Due to the large amounts of paper work and money involved in legal compliance, many websites simply disallow underage children. FANDOM is one such company. When signing up for a FANDOM account, you must accept FANDOM's Terms of Use - part of this is saying that you are aged thirteen or over. If you are not older than thirteen, you have violated this agreement with FANDOM. Such action is grounds for having your account disabled and/or a global block from the FANDOM network.

This wiki

If you directly state on your userpage that you are 12 or younger, you may be reported to FANDOM, who will take the matter into their own hands. Please note that you are not permitted to ask other users their age. If you state that you are younger than 13 in chat, we reserve the right to ban you from chat - FANDOM will not accept evidence from Chat such as print screens or logs.
