Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States (CIPP/US) — Question 132
Which authority supervises and enforces laws regarding advertising to children via the Internet?
Answer options
- A. The Office for Civil Rights
- B. The Federal Trade Commission
- C. The Federal Communications Commission
- D. The Department of Homeland Security
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the correct answer because it specifically regulates advertising practices, including those directed at children, to ensure they are fair and not deceptive. The other options, such as The Office for Civil Rights, The Federal Communications Commission, and The Department of Homeland Security, do not have the jurisdiction to enforce advertising laws specifically aimed at children.
