This is an unexpected turn of events. In short, Disney was accused of allowing personal data to be collected from children who viewed kid-directed videos on YouTube without notifying parents or obtaining their consent as required by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule.
The rules don't allow for any collection of data unless the parent opts in, though I have to say the rule is a little confusing in how its implemented.

But its good that there are at least some sort of general protections for kids. The world is scary enough without soliciting directly to them.
