This past spring, the US Federal Trade Commission alleged that Facebook violated a 2020 privacy agreement by collecting and monetizing data from users under the age of 18.
Now, Facebook has decided to sue the FTC, challenging its authority to reopen the privacy case against the social media giant.
Several lawmakers pushed back strongly on Facebook's actions, saying that it's trying to distract from real issues like better protecting the privacy of young users.
This case appears to be a rather desperate attempt by Facebook to avoid having to pay additional fines for privacy violations.
At the very least, the FTC has remained vigilant in enforcing its agreement with Facebook and holding the company accountable for our privacy and data.
