FTC can reopen Meta privacy case despite $5 billion fine, court rules

A U.S. appeals court has ruled that Meta (formerly Facebook) cannot prevent the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from reopening an investigation into Facebook's privacy practices. The FTC is seeking to tighten a 2020 settlement, accusing Meta of misleading parents about protections for children and profiting from minors' data. This setback for Meta comes as the social media giant pursued a separate lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the FTC's inquiry. Meta argues that the proposed changes would hinder its product development and corporate governance. Meanwhile, Meta is facing multiple lawsuits over allegations of addicting children to its platforms and monopolizing the personal social network market.
