"A complaint filed by the Department of Justice alleges that from 2020 to 2022, Disney did not label some of its YouTube content "Made for Kids" as required by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA). The mislabeling enabled Disney to collect personal data from children under 13 and to use it for advertising to them. It also led to YouTube playing age-inappropriate content through its autoplay feature to children watching the videos and left comments turned on."
"YouTube has required that content creators use the "Made for Kids" label since its $170 million settlement with the FTC in 2019 over its own COPPA violations. According to the complaint, in June 2020 YouTube changed the labeling on over 300 Disney videos from "Not Made for Kids" to "Made for Kids" on channels that included Pixar, Disney, Disney Movies, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and Oh My Disney."
Disney will pay $10 million to settle an FTC claim over collecting children's data and targeting them with ads on uploaded YouTube videos. From 2020 to 2022 Disney failed to label some YouTube content "Made for Kids" as required by COPPA. The mislabeling enabled collection of data from children under 13, use of that data for advertising, autoplay of age-inappropriate videos, and comments left on. In June 2020 YouTube changed labeling on over 300 Disney videos in multiple Disney channels and instructed Disney to stop relying on a channel-level default. Disney received portions of ad revenue from improperly labeled videos and placed some of its own advertising on them.
