FTC Proposes Blanket Ban on Meta's Monetization of Young Users' Data.
TL;DR Summary
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has proposed a "blanket prohibition" on Meta's collection of young people's personal data, including users under 18, citing privacy failings by the tech giant. The proposed changes would bar Meta from profiting from the data it collects from users under the age of 18, and would apply to Meta businesses including Facebook, Instagram, and Horizon Worlds. The FTC's proposed changes are the first time that the commission has proposed such a blanket ban on the use of data to try to protect the online privacy of minors.
