How come FTC keeps coming back at this one company? Whereas TikTok and others having business as normal
- michael_vo 3y agoWell, FB does have ~2BB euros set aside to pay for EU fines in 2023. So not just the FTC!
- toomuchtodo 3y agoYou know how it goes. They're going to take the budget away if it doesn't get spent.
- Rexxar 3y agoHopefully, this will prevent all of the comments that say EU only fine them because they don't like US companies.

- walls 3y agoPerhaps because FB is actually breaking the law.
- nickthegreek 3y agoWhy is FTC making sure the biggest social media company plays by the rules that they continue to break? I find it hard to believe that this question is in good faith.
- theRealMe 3y agoTikTok is currently being considered for a total ban in the US isn’t it? And it’s banned on US government devices? Not the greatest example to use for your point.
- uoaei 3y agoEvery comment from this account is defending or advocating for Meta or one of its products. Don't drink the Kool-aid, folks!
- baynoob 3y agoHaha. I think all ad company work more of less in same manner. You can use whatever slang you want.
- weego 3y agoThis is the equivalent of someone complaining to the policeman that pulled them over for speeding that another car just sped past them and he's not giving them a ticket too.
- baynoob 3y agoHaha. targeting one specific car plate at each turn while never saying a word to every other car speeding up (to other companies doing the same stuff as well as other big monopolies).
- rvz 3y agoIt is because Facebook has lots of money and users just like TikTok today, but Facebook was the biggest at the time when they got fined in the billions. If the FTC is getting upset at Facebook over privacy issues, then they should equally apply this to all social networks, especially TikTok which is just as equally as bad if not worse today and should also be fined in the multi-billions of dollars if the are to continue to operate in the US with a worse track record of privacy violations.

- dragonwriter 3y ago> How come FTC keeps coming back at this one company? It doesn’t, exclusively. Lots of social media companies have had run ins with the FTC.
- isthiseasymode 3y agoComments like these make me wonder if they’re Meta employees that held onto their RSUs too long.
