Britain's Information Regulator Investigates YouTube for Collecting Children's Data

Britain's information regulator said it would look into an official complaint accusing Alphabet Inc's YouTube of illegally collecting data from millions of children. 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.
