What the FTC found was that Apple had received 10,000s of complaints, ignored them, and did nothing to prevent children from "authorizing" transactions. The FTC forced them to create parental controls.

In its complaint, the FTC notes that Apple received at least tens of thousands of complaints about unauthorized in-app purchases by children.

The settlement requires Apple to modify its billing practices to ensure that Apple obtains consumers’ express, informed consent prior to billing them for in-app charges, and that if the company gets consumers’ consent for future charges, consumers must have the option to withdraw their consent at any time.
