GOOGLE Inc's YouTube Kids app violates safeguards for children by deceptively blending advertising and programming, according to consumer groups that are asking US regulators to investigate the company.
The video service's branded channels for Barbie, Lego, McDonald's and other products show mostly advertising, and user-generated content fails to disclose relationships between video producers and product manufacturers, the groups said in a statement on Tuesday. They are planning to file a complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission.
