YouTube has been accused by a British parent of illegally gathering data on children under 13, which would be in breach of a UK data privacy code.

Duncan McCann, who has three children, has lodged an official complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in which he claims YouTube gathered data on children’s viewing habits.
