Report: in January, YouTube will expand limitations on the data that videos aimed at kids can collect and stop showing personalized ads to underage viewers
Children are worth their weight in data to YouTube creators, who're scrambling to stop the Federal Trade Commission from taking that income away.
Starting January, YouTube will limit the data it collects on videos designed for kids to comply with a US federal privacy clampdown. *The burden is falling on makers of videos to designate whether the content they post is targeted at kids.* https://www.wsj.com/... via @nattyray11
“YouTube has never admitted wrongdoing, but in September it paid a $170 million fine to settle the allegations and agreed to create a system to flag videos designed for children.” https://www.wsj.com/...
Finally @YouTube will start respecting kids data. Creators upset because they will no longer be able to exploit kids data! It's clearly time for a new and fair business model. https://www.wsj.com/...
