 |  Google faces child tracking case Multi-billion pound law suit Search engine outfit Google faces a multibillion-dollar lawsuit in the UK over claims that YouTube routinely breaks privacy laws by tracking children online. According to Bloomberg the suit, filed on behalf of more than five million British children under 13 and their parents, is being brought by privacy campaigner Duncan McCann and being supported by Foxglove, a tech justice group. The claimants estimate that if they're successful, there would be as much as £2.5 billion pounds ($3.2 billion) in compensation, worth between £100 to £500 per kid. The filing alleges that YouTube's methods of targeting underage audiences constitute "major breaches" of UK and European privacy and data rules designed to protect citizens' control over their own private information. https://fudzilla.com/news/51535-gool...-tracking-case |
