California’s attorney general announced Thursday that his office has settled with the parent company of the streaming service Sling TV for allegedly failing to give consumers an easy way to block sales of their personal data and for inadequately protecting the privacy of children.
Sling TV has agreed to pay a $530,000 fine for violating the California Consumer Privacy Protection Act, according to a press release from Attorney General Rob Bonta.
