YouTube to pay multimillion FTC fine for lack of protection on kids’ online data, report says

That’s according to a Washington Post report that Google has reached a settlement with the agency.

The FTC was reportedly investigating YouTube for violating a federal law designed to protect kids and their data online.

Concerns have been raised about how YouTube collects minors’ information and also about comments from pedophiles that have plagued the site.

YouTube suspended comments on videos featuring kids earlier this year after the inappropriate comments were discovered.

Representatives from Google and the FTC declined to comment on the Post report.
