NY-AG v. Oath

Oath, formerly AOL, allegedly violated the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). According to NY-AG, AOL conducted billions of auctions for ad space on hundreds of websites the company knew were directed to children under the age of 13. Through these auctions, AOL collected, used, and disclosed personal information from the websites’ users in violation of COPPA, enabling advertisers to track and serve targeted ads to young children.
