How does disabling mini player protect kids?

YouTube made this change because of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. If YouTube considers a video or channel “made for kids,” it will restrict many features for that video or channel. Even if you’re an adult, you won’t be able to use a variety of features while watching one of these “made for kids” videos.

Why does YouTube pause when minimized?
