Disney’s YouTube Error Resulted in Million-Dollar Fine: Unlabeled Children’s Videos Exposed Kids to Illegal Data Collection

Disney agreed to pay US$ 10 million, equivalent to R$ 54 million, following allegations related to the improper collection of children’s data in YouTube videos. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) stated that the company failed to properly label around 300 pieces of content as “Made for Kids.”

This failure allowed the use of minors’ personal information in advertising practices, which is prohibited by U.S. law.

Affected Content

Among the videos were clips from highly successful animations such as Frozen, Toy Story, The Incredibles, and Coco.

FTC Statement

Andrew Ferguson, FTC chair, emphasized the seriousness of the case. “Our order penalizes Disney’s abuse of parents’ trust and, through a mandatory video review program, paves the way for the future of protecting children online — age verification technology,” he stated in a statement.

Additionally, the decision reinforces the responsibility of companies that produce content for children.

Disney’s Response

Since 2019, YouTube has required creators to indicate whether their content is aimed at children. Disney has committed to reviewing its digital practices and following all required regulations.

In a statement to CBS News, the company said: “Disney has a long tradition of adhering to the highest standards of compliance with children’s privacy laws, and we remain committed to investing in the necessary tools to continue leading in this space.”

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Amazon ants build underground farms, cultivate fungi as food, and even use bacteria to protect their natural plantation in the forest.

João-de-barro doesn’t just build a nest; it constructs a clay capsule with thermal insulation that withstands heat, wind, and rain.

China did not like the decision by the U.S. to place BYD, Alibaba, and Baidu on a list linked to the Chinese military sector.

Rare case in Minas Gerais draws attention after a sow gives birth to 46 live piglets in a delivery that surprised even those knowledgeable in pig farming.
