    Edmodo Subsidiary Receives US Permanent Ban for Illegally Collecting Children's Information

    NetDragon's overseas education subsidiary Edmodo was hit with a permanent injunction by the US Department of Justice and FTC for improperly collecting children's personal information from 2017 to 2021, and agreed to a $6 million civil penalty (suspended due to inability to pay); the platform was subsequently shut down. Media questioned whether NetDragon's annual report disclosed the penalty. The independent director's re-election was opposed by 88% of votes.
