Roku and state resolve complaint alleging the sale of children’s data

Roku has settled a legal complaint filed by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who accused the company of selling children’s data without proper consent. Under the settlement, Roku will invest $25 million in engineering efforts to comply with Florida's Digital Bill of Rights, ensuring better data protection measures going forward. Notably, the agreement doesn’t admit any wrongdoing by Roku, maintaining the company’s stance on the matter. This settlement is significant as it underscores the growing scrutiny over data privacy, especially concerning children, and could set a precedent for other tech companies.
