Gaming Website Charged with Failing to Protect Minors

By Chris Bennett, Tudor Carsten, Michael R. Coburn, Sarah Dale-Harris, Pablo Guzman, Danielle (Dani) Lemon, Chris Metcalfe and David Spratley

ADVERTISEMENTS
An interesting story out of Texas where GamesRadar has been charged by the Texas Attorney General with failing to protect the privacy and safety of children.

The charge stemmed from an alleged breach of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Specifically, GamesRadar is accused of 'unlawfully collect personal information such as names, ages, and home addresses from children [under 13]'.

The charge shows the importance of taking precautions to either restrict access by minors to a Web site or, alternatively, taking special precautions to account for them.
