Another day, another data breach. This time it’s YouTube in the hot seat for allegedly collecting data on kids. Per a 59-page complaint filed with the US Federal Trade Commission, 23 child advocacy, consumer and privacy groups have accused Google (who owns YouTube) of violating child protection laws by collecting personal data of and advertising children under the age of 13.
According to the coalition, which includes groups such as the Center for Digital Democracy and Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC), YouTube turns a blind eye to the fact that it has users under the age of 13, even though the platform is only meant for those 13 and above. As a result, Google is collecting data on these underage users, including their location and phone numbers. This behavior stands in direct violation of the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (Coppa), which requires parental consent before collecting such data.

YouTube watching this YouTube video at the moment
Moral of the story : don’t reveal your plans
Natasha looking like a snack 💯
Wow that’s sad by YouTube. Pushing out ads to young moldable minds of young children who’ll buy anything? Fucking disgusting. Glad I’m not stupid enough to buy stuff. YouTube’s free so I will use it until it is no longer free. Back then my friends would tell me that ad blocker was the best thing ever and I didn’t believe him until I used it on my computer. Best thing ever. YouTube ads are trash af anyways. Seems like every video I watch I get s fucking movie trailer for Amy Schumer’s shitty movie
YouTube need to get there shit together they can even keep your likes on the video after you close it
NATASHA CAN GET IT THO
They do it on us what’s the problem now? We know all of this shit
Now is your chance, sue them
YouTube take another L, and compLex can also hold this L too because well… It's compLex.
Lmao lil kidos just lie about their age to watch age restricted video
*on everyone. FTFY
Natasha 😍!
Dammmmmmmm look at my baby gurl Natasha looking sexy as hell.. Oh I almost forgot FUCK YOU FRAZIER YOU FUCKING WORM !!!!
The real big brother 🧐
That's kinda the price of using the internet. Unless you're using a VPN and other browser protections, then data is going to be collected.
Isn’t this uploaded on YouTube?🤔🤔🤔😂
Wtf who tf cares. You act like there’s not ads on tv aimed directly for kids smh
lol all because of the add revenue
Don’t @ me lol!
If these same child advocacy groups go after the parents instead for not watching their own kids- these billions they they are seeking now becomes a number I can't even describe…it would a new number not even thunk up yet like a kerjillion or something much greater.And that's just for starters when these same kids turn 18 they could go after them to because of statute of limitations is like 8 years or something
Betcha this video gets “demonitized” and eventually gets deleted.
:O
Youtube the G.O.A.T….Get with it or get lost
And like some shit really gone get done about it
So lemme get this straight. YouTube won’t pay people who make videos inappropriate for those under 13, yet the site is not intentes for those under 13. So why tf did so many great creators lose their monetization?
Any virgins??
Natasha and Sneaker Shopping are the only things keeping Complex alive.

How does someone under 13 create an account, and how is YouTube to know they're under 13

Youtube finna document this comment
YouTube is already bad enough with channels getting demonitized because they aren't "age appropriate" and won't be prosperous for advertisers. And now I bet instead of stopping this privacy issue, they'll just go heavier on the demonitization.
smh the media is just trying to kill us i make my living on youtube smh
