Disney agreed to pay a $10 million civil penalty to settle COPPA claims over YouTube videos aimed at children. The settlement says mislabeling content as "Made for Kids" allowed personal data collection and targeted advertising for children under 13. It also requires parental notice before data collection and correct kid-directed labeling going forward.
