Florida's Office of Parental Rights is suing Roku , accusing the streaming giant of willfully collecting and selling the sensitive personal information of children, including geolocation, in violation of the state's Florida Digital Bill of Rights and the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices act.
Attorney General James Uthmeier's office is asking for civil penalties and an injunction to stop the illegal activity. It also calls for transparent disclosures, implements lawful parental-control mechanisms, and a stop to the unauthorized sale or processing of children’s data.
