"Walt Disney Co. will pay $10 million to the Federal Trade Commission to settle allegations that it violated a federal children's privacy law by allowing children to be targeted with online advertising. "Disney has a long tradition of embracing the highest standards of compliance with children's privacy laws, and we remain committed to investing in the tools needed to continue being a leader in this space," a Disney spokesperson wrote in a statement."
"Axios was the first to report the settlement on Tuesday. A Disney spokesperson confirmed details. According to the complaint, Disney failed to properly categorize videos it uploaded to YouTube as being made for children. The settlement did not involve any Disney-owned or operated platforms, according to the spokesperson. The settlement is the first privacy enforcement action reached by the Federal Trade Commission under the leadership of Trump-appointed chairman Andrew Ferguson. The FTC did not immediately respond to a request for comment."
