Disney Videos Targeting Minors on Youtube – A Class Action Investigation

Ahdoot Wolfson is investigating a potential class action lawsuit against Disney for unlawfully exploiting the personal information of minors (children under the age of 13) engaging with Disney’s YouTube channels. 

Despite creating and uploading animated videos, cartoons, movie clips, and other content clearly directed at children under 13, since 2020, Disney has failed to designate its videos as “made for kids” on YouTube’s platform, thereby enabling the collection of personal information from children – including both persistent identifiers such as cookies and device IDs and sensitive data like identity and location information – without providing notice to parents or obtaining verifiable parental consent.

Disney’s practices may be in violation of state and federal laws.

If you are the parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 who engages or engaged with Disney’s YouTube channels at any point since 2020, please fill out the form below for a free consultation from our law firm.
