Google Could Pay $200M To Settle FTC Investigation Into YouTube

Google has agreed to pay up to $200 million to settle an FTC investigation into YouTube for allegedly violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act by collecting data on minors without parental consent. The settlement amount is between $150 million and $200 million, which some argue is insufficient for a company of Google's size. In response to privacy concerns, YouTube launched a new website version of its YouTube Kids app, allowing parents to select age-appropriate content for their children.
