"The Walt Disney Company has agreed to pay a $10 million civil penalty as part of a settlement to resolve allegations it violated child privacy laws, the Justice Department said on Tuesday. A federal court order in the case involving Disney Worldwide Services Inc and Disney Entertainment Operations LLC also bars Disney from operating on YouTube in a manner that violates the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, the department said."
"The law requires websites, apps, and other online services aimed at children under 13 to notify parents about what personal information they collect, and obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting such information "The Justice Department is firmly devoted to ensuring parents have a say in how their children's information is collected and used," Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate of the Justice Department's Civil Division said in a statement."
Disney agreed to pay a $10 million civil penalty to resolve allegations of violating child privacy protections. A federal court order bars Disney from operating on YouTube in ways that violate the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and requires Disney to create a program to ensure future compliance on YouTube. The law requires online services aimed at children under 13 to notify parents and obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information. The Justice Department emphasized parental control over children’s data. The settlement finalizes an agreement reached in September after a referral from the Federal Trade Commission.
