Two schoolkids sue Google for collecting biometrics

The suit is about biometrics and children’s privacy in Google’s education apps, which are suddenly, wildly popular now due to COVID-19.

If that bill passes, you can say bye-bye to YouTube, says one content creator.

The FTC can fine content creators up to $42,530 per violation – even though they don’t collect, receive, nor have access to kids’ data.

YouTube can’t track kids online anymore without their parents’ permission, says the FTC, as it fined the Google-subsidiary $170m.

It’s been a predator’s playground, where children’s photos have been public by default and trolling adults could message them.

New Mexico’s AG filed a lawsuit accusing a popular app maker, plus Google’s and Twitter’s ad platforms, of illegally collecting kids’ data.

Large numbers of child-centred Android apps may be breaking US law.
