Google may pay $ 3 billion in compensation

Google may pay $ 3 billion in compensation for a lawsuit filed against it in the UK. YouTube regularly violates data privacy laws by tracking children online, according to the statement.

The lawsuit, on behalf of more than 5 million British children under 13 and their parents, was brought by human rights activist Duncan McCann and supported by human rights group Foxglove. Plaintiffs demand the company to pay compensation in the amount of 2.5 billion pounds ($ 3.2 billion) – from 100 to 500 pounds for each child, writes Bloomberg.

According to the statement of claim, YouTube’s methods of targeting underage audiences are a “serious violation” of the UK and European privacy laws. YouTube “systematically violates these laws by then collecting data from children without prior parental consent,” the statement said.

YouTube representatives declined to comment on the lawsuit but noted that the service is not intended for children

under 13. “We launched the YouTube Kids app specifically for kids and are constantly working to better protect

kids and families on YouTube,” the company said.

This is the first class-action lawsuit in Europe filed against a technology company on behalf of children.

“The cost of the so-called free YouTube service is kids addicted to online content and influenced by big tech companies stealing their privacy. Google will not change anything until it is compelled by the court, “- said the director of Foxglove Cori Crider (Cori Crider).
