Google will pay a record $170 million penalty to settle accusations that YouTube broke the law by collecting information from kids to target them with ads
Washington Google has agreed to pay a record $170 million penalty to settle accusations that YouTube broke the law when it knowingly tracked and sold ads targeted to children, the Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday.
The settlement involves the largest-ever penalty under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which YouTube allegedly violated by collecting user information from kids to fuel its behavioral advertising business. And it could affect the strategies of all creators of children's videos on YouTube, including large companies such as Mattel and Hasbro , according to federal officials.
