YouTube has allegedly been tracking children online and targeting them with personalized ads, potentially in violation of its agreement with the FTC and of the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), according to a report released on Thursday.
Google, which was sued in June for allegedly invading children’s privacy in Android apps through its Designed For Families program, insists its YouTube service has not broken the law nor its own policies on advertising to children. And the web giant challenged the report as misleading.
