 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight.

 Disney to pay $10 million to settle alleged child privacy law violations, Justice Dept. says

The Walt Disney Company has agreed to pay a $10 million civil penalty to settle allegations that it violated laws protecting children’s online privacy, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.

A federal court order in the case, involving Disney Worldwide Services Inc. and Disney Entertainment Operations LLC, also prohibits Disney from operating on YouTube in ways that breach the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The order requires Disney to implement a compliance program to ensure it follows the law on YouTube going forward.

COPPA requires websites, apps, and online services targeting children under 13 to notify parents about the personal information they collect and obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting that data.

“The Justice Department is firmly devoted to ensuring parents have a say in how their children’s information is collected and used,” said Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate of the Civil Division.

Disney did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

In September, Disney had also agreed to pay $10 million to settle Federal Trade Commission claims that it allowed personal data from children watching kid-focused videos on YouTube to be collected without parental notification or consent.
