What I'm most interested in is the redacted bits of the Order to Show Cause [1]
The scale of the remediation (no new launches) doesn't really match the scale of the accusation in the press release (Messenger kids once had a bug where kids could circumvent parental controls if the parents didn't pay attention).
The Order to Show Cause includes a comprehensive, in-depth review of FB's privacy programs - and it's almost entirely redacted. What did FB mess up so badly that the FTC feels this is the appropriate response?
