Meta Platforms, Inc., the parent company of Facebook, is embroiled in a legal dispute with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over the use of children's data for profit. While the exploitation by Meta of children's Facebook data is concerning, the company is continuing to argue its right to profit from said data. Despite a recent court defeat, Meta has initiated legal action against the FTC, challenging the constitutional validity of the agency's authority to amend a 2020 settlement agreement that involved a US$5 billion fine over privacy concerns.
