Disney to pay $10 million fine in the US for violation of child data protection law

Fine from Disney for legislative violations

According to Главком: The company Disney will pay $10 million in fines in the case of violating US federal legislation on the protection of children's personal data. A federal court in the US has approved a settlement in the case against Disney Worldwide Services and Disney Entertainment Operations. This decision was made as a result of the incorrect labeling of some of the company's videos on the YouTube platform.

According to the court's decision, Disney will pay $10 million in civil penalties for violating the Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). This law prohibits the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent. The court also prohibited Disney from violating COPPA requirements when posting content on YouTube.

Measures for compliance with legislation

As part of the settlement, Disney is required to implement a permanent content review program to avoid similar violations in the future. This decision is an important step in protecting children's rights online and ensuring compliance with data protection legislation.

The payment of the fine and the implementation of new control measures by Disney underscore the growing concern over the protection of children's personal data in the era of digital technology. This decision serves as a signal to other companies that violations of the law in this area will not go unanswered. It is expected that such cases will encourage increased oversight and regulation in the area of data protection, particularly regarding children, who are the most vulnerable category of users on online platforms.
