Another class action style lawsuit has been lodged against a tech giant in the UK alleging violations of privacy and seeking major damages. The latest representative action, filed against Google-owned YouTube, accuses the platform of routinely breaking UK and European data protection laws by unlawfully targeting up to five million under-13-year-olds with addictive programming and harvests their data for advertisers. UK and EU law contain specific protections for children's data, limiting the age at which minors can legally consent to their data being processed -- in the case of the UK's Data Protection Act to aged 13.
