Marvel and Sanrio, two of the biggest brands in the kids online marketing space, may be in violation of online children's privacy laws.

In filings today with the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, the Center for Digital Democracy urged the agency to investigate and bring action against the two companies.
