Privacy Advocates want day care apps to be looked at by the FTC

Hello everyone,

Just trying to post some news as well as getting the podcast out, we have here an article talking about invasive day care apps.

According to the article we’re going to cover here, information like how many times a diaper was changed is shared.

Is that something that you necessarily want others to know?

Appparently, this article talks about one app that sends children’s data over to Facebook.

There are strict rules on COPPA, and we’ve talked quite a bit about Coppa through the years, and if we need to cover it again, we can do so in a future podcast and security hour.

Our friends at the EFF say that this is not the first time companies have been warned about their data practices.

The article is definitely linked heavily and links to other stories or hash tags, but this is something that everyone needs to know about.

The article is titled Privacy advocates want the FTC to take on invasive daycare apps and was written by Cyberscoop.

Maybe it can be discussed in a future podcast, either as news, or as a topic. You decide.

Thanks again for reading, and making it a great day!
