The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has dismissed Meta's claim that it lacks the authority to alter a $5 billion data privacy settlement. This decision comes as Meta continues to contest an order preventing it from monetizing children's data. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to grant Meta's request to evade a lawsuit from advertisers. The court's ruling supports a lower court's decision that allows advertisers to seek damages related to claims about the 'potential reach' of their ads. These developments indicate ongoing legal challenges for Meta Platforms regarding data privacy and advertising practices.
