YouTube to pay FTC fine in millions over kids’ data privacy breach
YouTube was reportedly being investigated by the FTC over violation of breaching kids’ data privacy.
Google is expected to pay a multimillion dollar penalty from the Federal Trade Commission over its handling of kids' information on its popular video site YouTube.
That's according to a Washington Post report that Google has reached a settlement with the agency. The FTC was reportedly investigating YouTube for violating a federal law designed to protect kids and their data online.
Concerns have been raised about how YouTube collects minors' information and also about comments from pedophiles that have plagued the site. YouTube suspended comments on videos featuring kids earlier this year after the inappropriate comments were discovered.
Representatives from Google and the FTC declined to comment on the Post report.
