Video game maker to pay $520 billion to resolve FTC privacy, dark pattern allegations
On December 19, the DOJ filed a complaint on behalf of the FTC against a video game developer for allegedly violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by failing to protect underage players’ privacy. The FTC also alleged in a separate administrative complaint that the company employed “dark patterns” to trick consumers into making unwanted in-game purchases, thus allowing players to accumulate unauthorized charges without parental involvement. (See also FTC press release here.)
According to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, the company allegedly collected personal information from players under the age of 13 without first notifying parents or obtaining parents’ verifiable consent.
