I'm not sure anyone here is aware of this or already knows, but recently U.S. Congress passed a Federal Law called COPPA which protects the privacy of underage children from being exploited or targeted by websites.

Wikia is going to place anon user blocks on all sites that are for children's entertainment in compliance with that federal law. (Wikia's real world offices are in the U.S. so they must comply.)

By my estimation, 5 of the Tokupedia wikis qualify under this rule including, I assume, UM wiki.

Rangerwiki, Kamen Rider wiki, Tokupedia, Ultraman wiki and Tokusatsu Fanon wiki.

The basic gist, as I understand it,  is any user under 13 needs permission from parents to access a site or mobile app or cannot register to specific sites until they are 14.

Considering that most of the Ultraman series is mainly aimed to a elementary school and middle school demographic, I was wondering your thoughts on the matter. Do we block or not?
