from the underage-ads dept.

The BBC reports:
Tech firms have been urged to stop advertising to under-18s in an open letter signed by Members of Parliament, academics and children’s-rights advocates. Behavioural advertising not only undermines privacy but puts “susceptible” youngsters under unfair marketing pressure, the letter says. It is addressed to Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft.

In a separate move Google-owned YouTube is accused of unlawfully mining data from five million under-13s in the UK…

“The fact that ad-tech companies hold 72 million data points on a child by the time they turn 13 shows the extent of disregard for these laws, and the extraordinary surveillance to which children are subjected,” the letter reads.


Let’s organize this thing and take all the fun out of it.
