Meta is suing the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over it allegedly lacking constitutional backing to exercise further enforcement on the tech giant, according to a late Wednesday court filing.
The FTC reopened a child privacy enforcement order against Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, in May, but the tech giant contends it does not have the constitutional power to do so, according to the filing. The court should end the FTC’s enforcement action because it contradicts an agreement they settled in 2020, Meta asserted.

What is Facebook’s response to the ugly stories on how it tracks and manipulates children? To apologize? To obey the Federal Trade Commission’s order to stop? Nope.
