Microsoft has agreed to pay $20 million to U.S. regulators to settle a case in which it was found to have violated the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act .
Related Commenting on the case, Samuel Levine, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, said its proposed measures “makes it easier for parents to protect their children’s privacy on Xbox, and limits what information Microsoft can collect and retain about kids.” Until late 2021, even if a user indicated that they were under 13 years of age, they were also asked to provide a phone number and to agree to Microsoft’s terms and conditions, which until 2019 included a pre-checked box allowing the tech company to send promotional messages and to share user data with advertisers.
