We aren't talking about publishing side groups like Youtube, FB, etc. We're talking about advertisers like DV360 or Tradedesk (the largest ad firms). COPPA has vastly decreased value on the demand side. And user data isn't stored for 20+ years expecting to capitalize on it. After several weeks that data becomes stale and useless. In the 11 years I've worked in adtech engineering, I can confirm that how you think this works vs how this actually works is not the same thing. And what you are talking about for responsibility is part of the Section 230 amendments being made to force liability on hosts for the "sake of the children". These amendments have nothing to do with children though. They have to do with opening hosts up to liability in defamation suits raised against them to force silence of political critics (this has been WELL documented).
