"The #FTC amicus brief clarifies that nothing in COPPA or the COPPA Rule dictates that parents and children should be bound by every part of the terms of service agreement between a company like IXL Learning and a school district": https://t.co/WpQEyHVSgj #ethics #law #privacy
US government trashes IXL’s arbitration bid in parents' data harvesting class action https://t.co/vdwztYpSJL https://t.co/IbN0KSel9c
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed an amicus brief opposing IXL Learning's attempt to use the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) to force parents into arbitration in a privacy lawsuit. The lawsuit, brought by parents, accuses IXL Learning of violating children's privacy. The FTC argues that COPPA does not mandate arbitration and that parents should not be deprived of their rights to pursue legal action in court. This development is part of a broader class action concerning data harvesting practices by IXL Learning.
