- The FTC found Disney failed to mark YouTube videos as made for kids, enabling targeted advertising to children under 13.
- Disney settled with a $10 million payment to resolve allegations of violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.
- Since 2020, Disney uploaded content on over 1,250 channels, including Pixar and Disney Animation Studios, collecting children’s personal data without proper consent.
- The FTC mandated a video review program to prevent future violations and protect children's online privacy.
This case underscores the FTC’s commitment to enforcing COPPA, which was enacted by Congress to ensure that parents, not companies like Disney, make decisions about the collection and use of their children’s personal information online.— FTC Chair Andrew N. Ferguson said in a statement.
