AppLovin Sued Over Adult Ads in Kids' Games

San Diego County has filed a lawsuit against mobile adtech company AppLovin, accusing it of serving children explicit ads for dating services, alcohol, vaping, and sexual content within games, even on devices with parental controls enabled. The complaint, filed by the county's new Consumer Fairness and Public Protection Unit, alleges AppLovin bypassed Apple and Google's tracking limits and used fingerprinting to target children without consent, collecting sensitive data like location and school details. Screenshots show ads for a sexualized AI chatbot and cannabis gummies on child-configured devices. AppLovin's policies prohibit collecting children's data, and the company has not responded to requests for comment. This lawsuit follows a recent SEC investigation that closed without action and AppLovin's own legal action against Unity.

EU's Triple Regulatory Threat Looms Over Mobile Gaming

The European Union is advancing a trio of regulations that collectively pose a significant threat to the mobile gaming industry. The upcoming Digital Fairness Act (DFA) targets monetization mechanics like loot boxes and addictive features, potentially impacting in-app purchases. The newly announced EU Kids Act, under Article 15, would restrict engagement techniques such as daily log-in bonuses and activity streaks for minors, requiring age assurance for all users. Additionally, the Digital Services Act (DSA) guidelines on protecting minors are already in effect. Industry experts warn of 'catastrophic' impacts and draw parallels to the IDFA privacy changes that disrupted mobile advertising. The final wording of the EU Kids Act is still under negotiation, with potential finalization by the end of the decade.
