"Once again Meta (aka Facebook) is prioritizing profits over all else -- over the safety of children, the privacy of its users, and compliance with the law. Repeatedly, Meta has violated its users' privacy and deceived them about protections their data would have on its platforms. Despite being forced to pay a $5 billion fine in 2020, the FTC found earlier this year that Meta has continued to violate the commitments it made to safeguard user privacy and misled parents about their children's use of its apps. In response, rather than complying with the law, Meta has decided to run to court complaining that the 110-year old FTC is unconstitutional. The court must reject any argument that would weaken the FTC's ability to enforce critical laws that protect consumers."
