TechTrendEcho's Take

🚨🔥 BREAKING NEWS ALERT! Disney just went full “oops my bad” and decided to drop $10 million to settle a whoopsie with the FTC! 💰👶 Apparently, Mickey & Co. were low-key harvesting data from kiddos on YouTube like it was Black Friday at Walmart! 🏷️🤡 Here’s the tea: according to the COPPA rules 🇺🇸📜, you can’t just be out here collecting info from kids without asking their parents. But Disney—yes, the same folks that made you cry over animated lions—forgot to label some videos as "Made for Kids" and then, BINGO! 🎉 They served targeted ads to toddlers. What a plot twist! 🤯💀 In a leaked convo between Disney execs, one said, “We thought ‘Made for Kids’ was a suggestion. Like ‘Best Burger’ in fast food!” 🍔😂 Well, no cap, that’s some cringe energy right there, fam! And guess what? YouTube, who’s basically built their empire on a mountain of kiddo views, had their own COPPA saga back in 2019 that cost them $170 MILLION! Stonks are looking... like a dumpster fire! 💩🔥 🔥HOT TAKE: In 2030, Disney will launch a blockchain Ponzi scheme for kids and label it "educational," making all past crimes magically disappear. Don't @ me! 🚀💀🤖 #DisneyFails
