Major tech companies aren't immune to privacy violations. Disney just settled a significant case with the U.S. Department of Justice over illegal data collection targeting children under 13 on YouTube without parental consent—a $10 million penalty. While the fine sounds substantial, it's genuinely minor relative to the company's scale. What's striking is the underlying issue: massive platforms systematically collecting sensitive data from minors, sidestepping consent frameworks. This case underscores why data sovereignty and privacy protection matter so intensely in the Web3 conversation. Traditional tech giants extract user data as a business model; decentralized protocols are built on the premise that users control their own information. The compliance program mandated by the settlement highlights how reactive and expensive it becomes to retrofit privacy into systems designed without it. For the industry, it's a reminder that regulatory scrutiny on data handling will only sharpen.
