Several lawsuits are targeting companies that allow children to make in-app purchases without getting parental consent. Documents recently unsealed after legal action by The Center for Investigative Reporting show that Facebook bilked kids and parents out of money using in-app purchases and kept doing so even though an employee had discovered a fix. A recent class action against Sony claims that the entertainment company designs their PS4 games to bait children into making purchases. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this with Scott Hardy from Top Class Actions.
