The Information Commissioner's Office contacted 40 companies in the areas of social media, gaming, video, music streaming, including $Apple (AAPL.US)$ and $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$ Google, Financial Times reports.
The U.K. data protection regulator aims to investigate their interactions with children, including location tracking, personalizing content or advertising, and serving up behavioral nudges, like automatically playing videos endangering children online and breaching U.K.'s Children Code.
"We are focusing our interventions on . . . online services where there is information which indicates potential poor compliance with privacy requirements, and where there is a high risk of potential harm to children," information commissioner Elizabeth Denham said.
Denham said she has contacted them to "enquire about the extent to which the risks associated with processing personal data are a factor in determining the age rating for an app."
The research alleged that app store owners Google and Apple did not do enough to prevent underage users from downloading age-inappropriate apps from their stores.
Denham's research identified 12 areas of persistent failure and asked the information commissioner to take action, said Baroness Beeban Kidron, 5Rights' chair and the member of the House of Lords who originally proposed the code.
The research highlighted that app stores have age ratings on individual apps that are inconsistent with an app's age bar and, in some cases, no age ratings at all.

$Disney (DIS.US)$ Wall Street expects Disney to earn 44 cents per share on revenue of 16.22 billion U.S. dollars. In contrast, a loss of 20 cents per share in the same period last year, revenue of 14.71 billion US dollars.
Highlights: Disney's stock has lost its magic. Although the company has achieved great success thanks to the streaming media platform Disney+, the company’s stock price has fallen by 6% so far this year, lagging behind the 24% increase in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. At the same time, in the past six months and 30 days, the stock has fallen 8% and 2%, respectively. During this period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose by 12% and 9%, respectively.
Although Disney+ has transformed the company into a direct-to-consumer (DTC) giant, especially in the fierce competition from established streaming platforms such as Netflix (NFLX) and Amazon Prime Video, Disney’s current valuation suggests that it It is a growth stock.

$SGX (S68.SG)$  SGX is comparatively dull compared to Nasdaq, NYSE, & HKSE. It is known for Reits which are safer but also boring in terms of price movements. Sexy Singapore-based companies like $Sea (SE.US)$ and Grab chose to list in the states rather than SGX. However, in Sept 2021, I added SGX to my watchlist after reading an article stating that Singapore's central bank (MAS) and govt agencies like EDB and Temasek are collaborating to inject life into SGX by grooming promising companies for listings. After watching SGX's share price dropped from 10+ dollars to 9.50+, reading that SGX has amended it's rules to accept SPACs, & announcing dividends of 8 cents, I finally bought SGX at 9.70. Since then, SGX's decision to 1) invest in a private equity fund to buy a trading systems company, 2) Three SPACs announcing intention to list on SGX and 3) announcing yet another quarterly dividend of 8 cents have triggered a small price rise to 9.80+. I view SGX as one of the safer stocks to counter balance the wild and sexy (but more risky) stocks in my portfolio. I will be tempted to sell to take profits if SGX ever goes over 11.00, which might happen if the SPACs prove to be successfully and well received , attracting more SPACs and sexy companies to start considering listing in SGX.
