DISNEY WILL PAY $10 MILLION TO SETTLE FTC CLAIM IT USED CARTOONS TO COLLECT YOUTUBE DATA ON KIDS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Disney agreed to pay $10 million to settle FTC allegations that it violated children's privacy laws by incorrectly labeling cartoons on YouTube. The company left default "Not Made for Kids" labels on channels containing child-friendly content, such as "Frozen" and "Toy Story," which allowed for illegal data collection and targeted advertising to minors. Under the settlement, Disney must obtain parental consent for collecting children's data and create a review program for proper video labeling over the next decade.
