Microsoft has been fined $20m by the FTC for violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
The fine is in response to the collection of personal information from children via Xbox without parents being notified or giving consent, as well as the illegal retention of that information, the FTC has said.
As a result, Microsoft is required to make a number of changes to improve privacy protection for children on Xbox.
