Meta sues FTC to block new restrictions on monetizing kids' data
Meta is suing the FTC to prevent the reopening of a $5 billion privacy settlement from 2020 and to continue monetizing kids' data across its apps.

The FTC aims to impose new restrictions on Meta's use of facial recognition and a moratorium on new products until a privacy audit is completed. [ more ]
