Disney He agreed to pay 10 million dollars To settle allegations from the Federal Trade Committee that it has violated federal law by marking the cartoon misleading on YouTube so that it can collect personal data for children illegally.
FTC claims that Disney has failed to classify some videos of caricatures for her famous children that have been uploaded to YouTube as “made for children” – which makes these videos not eligible for certain features, such as the personal information group. It is a way to make Youtube difficult to target children with personal ads. But instead of putting a sign of individual videos either as “made for children” or “not made for children”, FTC left Disney virtual appointment at the channel level, and therefore any video clip uploaded to the “not made for children” channel will carry a “non -made” mark “instead.
The result was that the videos containing content from children’s friendly films such as “The Incredies”, “Toy Story” and “Frozen” will be distinguished as “not made for children”, according to the government, which wanders in the growing YouTube restrictions, including allowing YouTube automatically “that is not made for children yet” Disney videos. This has collected Disney information about children and served targeted advertisements on technically designed videos for children, and FTC claims to violate the online protection base for children (COPPA), which requires parental approval to collect information about children under the age of 13 years.
Disney should have known that some of her videos were incorrectly distinguished, as the government claimed, because YouTube has already told Disney in 2020 that she was describing her videos incorrectly, and changing stickers on more than 300 of her videos from “not made for children” to “making children” at that time, according to creativity. But Disney continued to download videos with virtual appointment only at the channel level, says FTC.
Under the proposed settlement, Disney will pay a civil settlement of $ 10 million, and get the approval of parents to collect data from children under the age of 13 as required under the law, and to create a new program to review the videos that have been uploaded to YouTube, a sign of its specified system must be placed on the basis of age, or you should not maintain everything that must be kept every year. If so, Disney will not need her own system to know how to describe videos.
