Meta Fights Back: Suing FTC to Protect Kids' Data and Privacy

Instagram-parent Meta has filed a lawsuit against the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to prevent the reopening of its $5 billion privacy settlement from 2020 and to block the FTC from banning the monetization of children's user data. Meta argues that the FTC's actions are an unconstitutional abuse of power. The lawsuit comes after a federal judge ruled that the FTC proceeding could move forward. The proposed restrictions could significantly impact Meta's data-driven business, particularly in targeting younger users and expanding into new product areas. This lawsuit is part of a broader trend of legal challenges to the authority of independent federal agencies.

The information was then used to target voters during the 2016 election. The amount each person will receive is unknown, and distribution of payments is pending final court approval and potential appeals.
