Youtube is taking the children's information

in steemit •  6 years ago  (edited)

A United States organization has filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over allegations of violation of child protection laws against YouTube.

On this, the organization told the court that YouTube has collected information about 13-year-old children. Parents are not informed about taking information from children. The name of the 23-member organization Child Safety and Privacy Advocacy Group

The organization also runs a campaign called Commercial-Free Childhood. On behalf of the campaign, a statement on their website was also given. There they said, all the websites directed for the children should be informed of their collection of personal information to their parents.

Advertising is promoted using kids browsing habit and location data. The YouTube policy states that anyone under the age of 13 should not be using YouTube. But YouTube knows very well that their website is very popular for kids.

Rime video, cartoon, toy advertisements are shown on many channels. But they are not taking any action to protect them. In response to this complaint, Google's parent company Google said that YouTube is not for kids.

They also said that the copy of the complaint has not yet reached their hands. After complaining, then the matter will be examined.
