Google pays $30M to settle lawsuit over children’s YouTube data

-


Google will pay $30 million to settle a class action lawsuit claiming it violated children’s privacy on YouTube, per Reuters.

The lawsuit alleges that Google collected data from children watching YouTube videos; while this kind of data collection has become common, it remains illegal to collect data from children under the age of 13, per the longstanding COPPA legislation.

Though Google will settle the case, the company denies these allegations.

It’s possible that up to 45 million people in the U.S. could be eligible to receive small payments from this class action, which encompasses anyone in the U.S. who watched YouTube while under the age of 13 between July 1, 2013 and April 1, 2020.
