01:03 PM EST, 11/12/2024 (MT Newswires) -- A Meta Platforms ( META ) lawyer told the Federal Trade Commission at a hearing Tuesday that it lacks the authority to modify a 2020 privacy settlement with the company, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.

The FTC alleged last year that Meta violated the terms of the settlement, and it sought to open a new case to also ban its use of facial recognition tools and monetization of children's data, according to the report.
