"The Justice Department is firmly devoted to ensuring parents have a say in how their children's information is collected and used,"
"The Department will take swift action to root out any unlawful infringement on parents' rights to protect their children's privacy."
"The complaint says the mislabeling allowed Disney, through YouTube, to collect personal data from children under 13 viewing child-directed videos and use that data for targeted advertising to children,"
Disney agreed to pay a $10 million civil penalty to resolve allegations of violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act by mislabeling YouTube videos. The Justice Department said Disney failed to mark kid-directed videos as "Made for Kids," allowing YouTube to collect personal data and serve targeted ads to children under 13. Content creators have been required to label MFK since 2019 after a $170 million Google-YouTube COPPA settlement. YouTube warned Disney in 2020 that it switched labels on over 300 Disney videos, but Disney did not correct the designations. Disney receives a share of YouTube advertising revenues tied to its videos.
