I don't know the details of this case, but wouldn't that mean YouTube was collecting and selling the children's personal data?

Was, is, and will continue to do so.

I went 2000 in a 25 and got fined $10.

Do you think I will go 2000 again

Disney gross profit for the twelve months ending June 30, 2025 was $35.557B.

They were fined 0.02812386% of their gross profits for one year. In "normal person terms". The median household income in 2023 was $80,610. After taxes, this would be approximately $60k. After bills and such, this household will be able save approximately $7k (we'll call that gross profits). If Disney was this household, then they'd get fined $197. That would totally make them never do that again.

Edit: Since Disney is a US company, I used US averages/figures.
