"The Federal Trade Commission alleged that Disney failed to designate videos on the platform as "Made for Kids." That designation is meant to comply with federal law that protects kids from having their data collected and used for targeted advertising. The FTC said in a statement that Disney will change its practices to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which requires parental consent for data collection for users under 13 years old."
""Supporting the well-being and safety of kids and families is at the heart of what we do," the company said. "This settlement does not involve Disney owned and operated digital platforms but rather is limited to the distribution of some of our content on YouTube's platform. 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.""
Disney agreed to pay a $10 million civil penalty after children's data was collected on videos posted to YouTube. The company failed to designate videos as "Made for Kids," a classification that prevents data collection and targeted advertising under federal law. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act requires parental consent for data collection from users under 13 years old. YouTube required content providers to label videos after a 2019 settlement that penalized the platform for collecting children's data. About 300 Disney videos from titles such as The Incredibles, Toy Story and Frozen were redesignated after notification. The settlement requires changes in Disney's practices, video-review procedures, and age-assurance technology to better protect children online.
