Controversies
BabyBus vs. The Federal Trade Commission
On December 22, 2014, The United States' Federal Trade Commission sent BabyBus a letter criticizing the company for collecting precise geolocation information of its users on their apps without their consent. Since the apps are targeting children under 13, this violates the COPPA Rule.[2]
BabyBus was suspended from the Google Play Store until they evaluated the apps to comply with COPPA.[3]
Channel Hacking
For a brief time in 2020, the main BabyBus YouTube Channel was hacked by some bitcoin mining company. BabyBus later gained control of the channel again shortly after. Mimi's name is changed to "Mimmy".
