Facebook Faces FTC Complaint
Loading ...Fifteen privacy and consumer protection organizations — including the Electronic Privacy Information Center, the Center for Digital Democracy, the Consumer Federation of America, and the U.S. Public Interest Research Group — Wednesday filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and sent a letter to Congress that charges Facebook with engaging in unfair and deceptive trade practices in violation of consumer protection law.
“Facebook continues to manipulate the settings of users and its own privacy policy so that it can take personal information provided by users for a limited purpose and make it widely available for a commercial purpose,” said the complaint letter to Congress. “In fact, this complaint also speaks to a growing concern about the ability of the FTC to protect American consumers as new business practices emerge.”
