Regulators Fine Google $170 Million for Violating Children’s Privacy on YouTube; The New York Times, September 4, 2019
Natasha Singer and Kate Conger, The New York Times;
"Google on Wednesday agreed to pay a
record $170 million fine and to make changes to protect children’s
privacy on YouTube, as regulators said the video site had knowingly and
illegally harvested personal information from youngsters and used that
data to profit by targeting them with ads.
The
measures were part of a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission
and New York’s attorney general. They said YouTube had violated a
federal children’s privacy law known as the Children’s Online Privacy
Protection Act, or COPPA."
