COPPA is indeed really concerning. I'm not sure what non-Americans can do, but people in the USA can sign this petition or comment on the law here (with these suggested talking points). It's important to keep it civil when commenting on the FTC, so that should be kept in mind.

Honestly it's a pretty stupid law since almost all family-friendly content can be counted as "child-oriented" in that a child may click on it, even though it is not aimed at them. You can't even have a YouTube account without being older than 13, so honestly it's not YouTube's fault that children were shown targeted ads, and this law is unfairly penalizing them and hundreds (if not thousands) of creators.

Should we make this post an announcement since it concerns the whole fandom?
