Privacy Protection: FTC vs. Facebook and Meta

Meta (formerly Facebook) has responded to the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) accusation of not adequately protecting people's privacy, calling it a political stunt. The company claims that the events occurred years ago and that it has invested in a comprehensive privacy program that is working well. Meta also stated that it was in compliance with all of the FTC Order requirements following the first assessment and that the coding errors highlighted by the FTC occurred years ago and were quickly fixed. The company plans to vigorously fight the action and expects to prevail.
