Even before the news broke about the Cambridge Analytica incident, Facebook was under increased regulatory scrutiny. In 2011 the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") entered into a consent decree ("Order") with Facebook after investigating allegations of deceptive trade practices. The order required Facebook to "protect the privacy and confidentiality of consumers' information" and engage in independent privacy audits every two years. But enforcement of this order has been lax. Now the FTC says it will look at what happened to determine whether Facebook has run afoul of the order, which could lead to fines and further action. The company also faces scrutiny from other government bodies, in the U.S. and around the world. There are now investigations launched by Data Protection Authorities from Australia to the UK, and in the U.S. Congress, the E.U. Commission, and the E.U. Parliament.
