US appeals court denies Meta's request to halt FTC's re-examination of Facebook's privacy breaches.
A US appeals court ruled against Meta Platforms' attempt to prevent the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from re-examining alleged privacy breaches within its Facebook unit. Meta's request to delay the FTC's investigation was denied, as the court deemed that Meta had not demonstrated the likelihood of success in its challenge. This decision marks Meta's latest defeat in a series of rulings concerning the FTC's ability to reopen a 2020 privacy settlement covering alleged breaches of terms after a $5 billion penalty was imposed in 2023.
