Britain To Look Into Youtube Gathering Child Data Post Official Complaint
Excerpt:
The complaint lodged by father-of-three Duncan McCann, who is leading the campaign and supported by his employer the advocacy group 5Rights, said the video-streaming platform had broken the newly implemented law by gathering “the location, viewing habits and preferences” of up to 5 million children.
Countries have been wrestling to strike the right balance with legislation that protects social media users, particularly children, from harmful content without damaging free speech.
McCann said in a statement that YouTube should change the design of its platform and delete data it had been gathering.
