Disney will pay a $10 million fine for violating children's online privacy laws. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) accused Disney of failing to properly label YouTube videos as "Made for Kids," allowing data collection on children without parental consent, violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Disney admitted to the violation and will implement changes to comply with COPPA, including a new video-review program. This follows a similar $170 million penalty against YouTube in 2019 for the same offense. Disney stated its commitment to child safety and maintaining high standards of compliance.
