Apple gets a fine for allowing children to purchase its products
Posted On 16 Jan 2014
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a sanction to Apple for a minimum of $ 32.5 million, after allowing minors to download applications with their parents’ accounts, without proper warning.
The billionaire company Apple promised to change its billing policy, after seeing some minor expenses amounted to 2,000 euros. The company must request express acceptance by the owner of the Smartphone.
The FTC warns that the fine is fully justified because the consumer protections of the physical trade must be the same as in the virtual trade. Changes in Apple’s trade policies must be made before March 31, 2014.
