A recent court ruling has determined that Meta, formerly known as Facebook, cannot delay the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from reopening a privacy probe. The decision comes as a setback for Meta in its efforts to push back against regulatory scrutiny.
The case revolves around the FTC's investigation into Meta's privacy practices, which was initially settled in 2019 with a $5 billion fine. However, the FTC has since sought to reopen the probe, citing new evidence and concerns over Meta's handling of user data.
