And later in the day, Google's parent acknowledged that the Department of Justice is looking into antitrust issues at the search giant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11763073,news_11752549,news_11732620\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The probe by the states will look into whether Facebook \"endangered consumer data, reduced the quality of consumers' choices, or increased the price of advertising,\" said New York Attorney General Letitia James in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The antitrust investigation is part of a larger review that's being coordinated with attorneys general in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and the District of Columbia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even the largest social media platform in the world must follow the law and respect consumers,\" James said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is all happening at a time when Facebook has agreed to pay $5 billion to the Federal Trade Commission for failing to protect user data from broad sharing with third-party apps, among other problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the Justice Department said earlier this summer that it's launching a similarly wide-ranging antitrust review of big tech companies. The DOJ didn't name specific firms in its announcement, but it was the first clear public confirmation of a major U.S. antitrust review of the tech industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alphabet, Google's parent company, on Friday said in a regulatory filing that the DOJ has requested \"information and documents relating to our prior antitrust investigations in the United States and elsewhere.\" Alphabet said it expects to receive similar requests from state attorneys general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continue to cooperate with the DOJ, federal and state regulators in the United States, and other regulators around the world,\" the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department said its antitrust division will look at how major online platforms have grown their share of market power and whether they are acting in ways that have \"reduced competition, stifled innovation, or otherwise harmed consumers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A request for comment from Facebook was not immediately returned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: Facebook and Google are among NPR's financial supporters.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Soon, you could get fewer familiar ads following you around the internet — or at least on Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The social media giant is launching a long-promised tool that allows users to limit what the network can gather about you on outside websites and apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said Tuesday that it is adding a section where users can see the activity that Facebook tracks outside its service, via its “like” buttons and other means. Users can opt to turn off the tracking; otherwise, tracking will continue the same way it has been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Formerly known as “clear history,” the tool will now go by the slightly clunkier moniker “off-Facebook activity.” The feature launched in South Korea, Ireland and Spain on Tuesday, consistent with Facebook’s tendency to launch features in smaller markets first. The company did not give a timeline for when it might expand it to the U.S. and other countries, only that it will be in “coming months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What you do off Facebook is among the many pieces of information that Facebook uses to target ads to its users. Blocking the tracking could mean fewer ads that seem familiar — like that pair of shoes you decided not to buy, or a nonprofit you donated money to. But it won’t change the actual number of ads you’ll see on Facebook. Nor will it change how your actions while on Facebook are used to display ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you turn off tracking, Facebook will still gather data on your off-Facebook activities. It will simply disconnect those activities from your Facebook profile. Facebook says businesses won’t know you clicked on their ads — but they will know that someone did. So Facebook can still tell advertisers how well their ads are performing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jasmine Enberg, social media analyst at research firm eMarketer, said the tool is part of Facebook’s efforts to be clearer to users on how it tracks them and likely “an effort to stay one step ahead of regulators, in the U.S. and abroad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook faces increasing governmental scrutiny over its privacy practices, including a \u003ca href=\"https://www.apnews.com/7fa2c8a26b34436d89a1c7aff9914f70\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">record $5 billion fine\u003c/a> from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for mishandling user data. Boosting its privacy protections could help the company pre-empt regulation and further punishment. But it’s a delicate dance, as Facebook still depends on highly targeted advertising for nearly all of its revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related stories\" tag=\"online-privacy\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook CEO \u003ca href=\"https://www.apnews.com/5be984b3acbe4753b73864df6562d57b\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Zuckerberg\u003c/a> announced the “clear history” feature more than a year ago. The company said building it has been a complicated technical process, which is also the reason for the slow, gradual rollout. Facebook said it sought input from users, privacy experts and policymakers along the way, which led to some changes. For instance, users will be able to disconnect their activity from specific websites or apps, or reconnect to certain sites while keeping other future tracking turned off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tool will let you delete your past browsing history from Facebook and prevent it from keeping track of your future clicks, taps and website visits going forward. Doing so means that Facebook won’t use information gleaned from apps and websites to target ads to you on Facebook, as well as Instagram and Messenger, which it also owns. It also won’t use such information to show you posts that Facebook thinks you might like based on your offsite activity, such as news articles shared by your friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stephanie Max, product manager at Facebook, said the company believes the tool could affect revenue, though she didn’t say how much. But she said giving people “transparency and control” is important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enberg, the eMarketer analyst, said the ultimate impact “depends on consumer adoption. It takes a proactive step for consumers to go into their Facebook settings and turn on the feature.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People who say they value privacy often don’t actually do anything about it, she said, so it’s possible too few people will use this tool to have a meaningful effect on Facebook’s bottom line.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Blocking the tracking could mean fewer ads that seem familiar — like that pair of shoes you decided not to buy, or a nonprofit you donated money to.

China’s mobile payments already capture vast troves of data; estimates of nearly 2 billion accounts are registered between the two major platforms, Alibaba’s Alipay and Tencent’s WeChat Pay\u003cem>. \u003c/em>A centralized digital currency would further cement China’s dominance in financial technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“China relies on the mobile payments sector immensely. We have had a long lead time [over Libra] with the success of WeChat and Alipay, but Libra represents a huge threat on mobile payments,” says Chuanwei Zou, chief economist at Bitmain, a large Chinese company that sells equipment used to create or “mine” cryptocurrencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook hopes to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/06/18/733809352/facebook-announces-plans-for-libra-its-own-cryptocurrency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">roll out Libra\u003c/a> in the first half of 2020, presenting the most significant competition to China’s cryptocurrency ambitions. The U.S. social media company has 2.5 billion users, more than twice the amount commanded by WeChat. That gives Facebook an immediate leg up in the race for a global cryptocurrency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Facebook is able to attract and turn a good number of its current users of Facebook and WhatsApp into Libra coin holders and users, it could immediately leapfrog all of what China has done in terms of building up users,” says Martin Chorzempa, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.piie.com/experts/senior-research-staff/martin-chorzempa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">research fellow at\u003c/a> the Peterson Institute of International Economics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook is building a global coalition of partners, each with a stake in the Libra Association, a nonprofit organization registered in Switzerland that will manage the cryptocurrency day to day.

It reflects the competitiveness of your country’s economy.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At stake in the cryptocurrency competition is control over financial data collection and the ability to conduct trade worldwide. The United States currently has an effective veto power over the global financial transactions system because so much of the world’s commerce is done in U.S. dollars, allowing it to sanction its enemies and let its companies operate globally with little to no transaction costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>China has long sought to unseat the dollar as the world’s top currency with the yuan, also known as the renminbi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having a global currency is a demonstration of a country’s influence. It reflects the competitiveness of your country’s economy,” says Bitmain’s Zou. “The fear is that Libra might replace renminbi’s position in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Libra will draw its value from a combination of major currencies, such as the dollar and the euro. Facebook has not said whether the yuan will be included. Depending on the final ratio, the new money could rely heavily on the dollar for stability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>China was once the biggest miner of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, thanks to the country’s cheap and plentiful hydropower used to fuel the processing power needed to create new digital coins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 2017, Chinese regulators began a crackdown on Bitcoin and other digital currencies that persists to this day.

That's according to federal regulators, at least one of whom says the government missed its chance to find out why the company has repeatedly misled its users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This past week, the Federal Trade Commission decided to enter into \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/24/741282397/facebook-to-pay-5-billion-to-settle-ftc-privacy-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a settlement\u003c/a> with Mark Zuckerberg without interviewing him first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FTC secured a $5 billion penalty from Facebook but, FTC Commissioner Rohit Chopra says, the agency sacrificed discovering the truth about the CEO in the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's still really a mystery to me as to what role [Zuckerberg] played,\" says Chopra, who opposed the settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/cases/182_3109_facebook_complaint_filed_7-24-19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FTC complaint\u003c/a> against Facebook highlights a prominent moment when Zuckerberg said one thing while his company did another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The thing is, we don't ever want anyone to be surprised about how they're sharing on Facebook. I mean that's not good for anyone,\" Zuckerberg told the audience of Facebook's annual F8 conference in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regulators at the FTC had investigated Facebook for taking the personal data of users and, without consent, handing it off to outsiders — third-party app developers. Following that and other embarrassing revelations, Zuckerberg made a promise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now, everyone has to choose to share their own data with an app themselves,\" he said. \"We think that this is a really important step for giving people power and control.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sounds great. Only, it wasn't true. According to the FTC, Facebook kept handing over user data secretly — without consent — to dozens of outside developers (like \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/04/599542151/facebook-says-cambridge-analytica-data-grab-may-be-much-bigger-than-first-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cambridge Analytica\u003c/a>, the political research firm that worked on President Trump's campaign).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't the only time Zuckerberg misrepresented the truth. In 2018, he did it again — this time not on his own stage, but in front of the entire country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg — summoned to the U.S. Congress — apologized for enabling Russian interference in the American elections, for helping to spread fake news and hate speech, and for violating the privacy of users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's clear now that we didn't do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm as well,\" he testified. \"And that was a big mistake, and it was my mistake, and I'm sorry. I started Facebook. I run it, and I'm responsible for what happens here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sounds great. Only, in the same month Zuckerberg gave that testimony (it was in April 2018), regulators say, the company began to use facial-recognition tracking on some 60 million users — again, without consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FTC's Chopra voted against entering the settlement with Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We cut off this investigation too early, [and] Facebook was willing to pay more money in order to hide Mark Zuckerberg's testimony from this investigation,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three Republican FTC members voted in favor of settling. The FTC extracted a $5 billion penalty from Facebook. Agency officials say that's more than the government would have gotten in court, if they'd litigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chopra, a Democrat, says his agency underplayed its hand, and missed the opportunity to uncover if Zuckerberg's misrepresentations were intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FTC spoke to Zuckerberg's lawyers, but not to him. He was not required to answer questions or turn over his emails; and the settlement lets the CEO off the hook for the many privacy mishaps the FTC scrutinized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg did not personally face charges for violating an earlier \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2011/11/facebook-settles-ftc-charges-it-deceived-consumers-failing-keep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">settlement\u003c/a> his company had reached with the FTC in 2011 settlement, though he could have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new FTC settlement includes provisions that could hold Zuckerberg liable, through civil and criminal penalties, for any future violations of the agreement with the commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg's actions may stand at odds with the philanthropic, altruistic image he's worked hard to cultivate. CEOs break rules all the time. The ousted chief of Uber appeared to take pride in bulldozing his way into cities, assuming the laws that apply to cabs didn't apply to his operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Zuckerberg has worked very hard to project the image of model super citizen: Harvard dropout committed to connecting the world with an American brand that's more omnipresent that Coca-Cola; funding woefully neglected \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130101294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">school systems\u003c/a>; and conducting a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/25/technology/zuckerberg-harvard-commencement-road-trip.html\">listening tour\u003c/a> to hear real people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Facebook is one of NPR's financial sponsors.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It bothers Chopra that his agency didn't pursue the truth because Zuckerberg isn't just a CEO. He has structured the stock so that he controls the majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/20/shareholders-wont-force-zuckerbergs-hand-in-facebook-management.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">votes\u003c/a> in Facebook. Chopra explained in his \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/public_statements/1536911/chopra_dissenting_statement_on_facebook_7-24-19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">written\u003c/a> dissent hat in other cases, when a chief calls the shots in a company, the FTC takes a hard look at them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We didn't even want to look at something that seemed fundamentally important, and instead traded it away for a higher fine, and none of that money will actually go to Facebook's users,\" Chopra says. The $5 billion goes to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2019/07/what-ftc-facebook-settlement-means-consumers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Treasury\u003c/a>, as mandated by law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg lauded the settlement, saying \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10108276550917411\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a post\u003c/a> that his company has a \"privacy-focused vision\" and that, while Facebook already works hard to protect people's privacy, \"now we're going to set a completely new standard for our industry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He did not mention that his company fought tooth and nail, according to regulators, against the fine and new external oversight the deal imposed on Facebook. The company did not respond to NPR about Chopra's criticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Zuckerberg's team is on Capitol Hill, trying to get permission to mint money — \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/16/742168185/tech-firms-to-face-lawmakers-over-antitrust-digital-currency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a new digital currency\u003c/a>. This cannot succeed without the public trust. Facebook is making the case that lawmakers and regulators should trust it. But Chopra says he doesn't trust Zuckerberg or his company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR business desk intern Amy Scott contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

I mean that's not good for anyone,\" Zuckerberg told the audience of Facebook's annual F8 conference in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regulators at the FTC had investigated Facebook for taking the personal data of users and, without consent, handing it off to outsiders — third-party app developers. Following that and other embarrassing revelations, Zuckerberg made a promise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now, everyone has to choose to share their own data with an app themselves,\" he said. \"We think that this is a really important step for giving people power and control.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sounds great. Only, it wasn't true. According to the FTC, Facebook kept handing over user data secretly — without consent — to dozens of outside developers (like \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/04/599542151/facebook-says-cambridge-analytica-data-grab-may-be-much-bigger-than-first-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cambridge Analytica\u003c/a>, the political research firm that worked on President Trump's campaign).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't the only time Zuckerberg misrepresented the truth. In 2018, he did it again — this time not on his own stage, but in front of the entire country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg — summoned to the U.S. Congress — apologized for enabling Russian interference in the American elections, for helping to spread fake news and hate speech, and for violating the privacy of users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's clear now that we didn't do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm as well,\" he testified. \"And that was a big mistake, and it was my mistake, and I'm sorry. I started Facebook. I run it, and I'm responsible for what happens here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sounds great. Only, in the same month Zuckerberg gave that testimony (it was in April 2018), regulators say, the company began to use facial-recognition tracking on some 60 million users — again, without consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FTC's Chopra voted against entering the settlement with Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We cut off this investigation too early, [and] Facebook was willing to pay more money in order to hide Mark Zuckerberg's testimony from this investigation,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three Republican FTC members voted in favor of settling. The FTC extracted a $5 billion penalty from Facebook. Agency officials say that's more than the government would have gotten in court, if they'd litigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chopra, a Democrat, says his agency underplayed its hand, and missed the opportunity to uncover if Zuckerberg's misrepresentations were intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FTC spoke to Zuckerberg's lawyers, but not to him. He was not required to answer questions or turn over his emails; and the settlement lets the CEO off the hook for the many privacy mishaps the FTC scrutinized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg did not personally face charges for violating an earlier \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2011/11/facebook-settles-ftc-charges-it-deceived-consumers-failing-keep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">settlement\u003c/a> his company had reached with the FTC in 2011 settlement, though he could have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new FTC settlement includes provisions that could hold Zuckerberg liable, through civil and criminal penalties, for any future violations of the agreement with the commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg's actions may stand at odds with the philanthropic, altruistic image he's worked hard to cultivate. CEOs break rules all the time. The ousted chief of Uber appeared to take pride in bulldozing his way into cities, assuming the laws that apply to cabs didn't apply to his operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Zuckerberg has worked very hard to project the image of model super citizen: Harvard dropout committed to connecting the world with an American brand that's more omnipresent that Coca-Cola; funding woefully neglected \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130101294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">school systems\u003c/a>; and conducting a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/25/technology/zuckerberg-harvard-commencement-road-trip.html\">listening tour\u003c/a> to hear real people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Facebook is one of NPR's financial sponsors.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It bothers Chopra that his agency didn't pursue the truth because Zuckerberg isn't just a CEO. He has structured the stock so that he controls the majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/20/shareholders-wont-force-zuckerbergs-hand-in-facebook-management.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">votes\u003c/a> in Facebook. Chopra explained in his \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/public_statements/1536911/chopra_dissenting_statement_on_facebook_7-24-19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">written\u003c/a> dissent hat in other cases, when a chief calls the shots in a company, the FTC takes a hard look at them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We didn't even want to look at something that seemed fundamentally important, and instead traded it away for a higher fine, and none of that money will actually go to Facebook's users,\" Chopra says. The $5 billion goes to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2019/07/what-ftc-facebook-settlement-means-consumers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Treasury\u003c/a>, as mandated by law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg lauded the settlement, saying \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10108276550917411\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a post\u003c/a> that his company has a \"privacy-focused vision\" and that, while Facebook already works hard to protect people's privacy, \"now we're going to set a completely new standard for our industry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He did not mention that his company fought tooth and nail, according to regulators, against the fine and new external oversight the deal imposed on Facebook. The company did not respond to NPR about Chopra's criticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Zuckerberg's team is on Capitol Hill, trying to get permission to mint money — \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/16/742168185/tech-firms-to-face-lawmakers-over-antitrust-digital-currency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a new digital currency\u003c/a>. This cannot succeed without the public trust. Facebook is making the case that lawmakers and regulators should trust it. But Chopra says he doesn't trust Zuckerberg or his company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR business desk intern Amy Scott contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Most reports cited an unnamed person familiar with the matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At $5 billion, the fine the FTC is about to levy on Facebook is by far the largest it’s given to a technology company, easily eclipsing the second largest, $22 million for Google in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The long-expected punishment, which Facebook is well prepared for, is unlikely to make a dent in the social media giant’s deep pockets. But it will also likely saddle the company with additional restrictions and another lengthy stretch of strict scrutiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook and the FTC declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 3-2 vote broke along party lines, with Republicans in support and Democrats in opposition to the settlement, according to the reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case now moves to the Justice Department’s civil division for review. It’s unclear how long the process would take, though it is likely to be approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment on the Facebook matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many companies, a $5 billion fine would be crippling. But Facebook is not most companies. It had nearly $56 billion in revenue last year. This year, analysts expect around $69 billion, according to Zacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a one-time expense, the company will also be able to exclude the amount from its adjusted earnings results —the profit figure that investors and financial analysts pay attention to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This closes a dark chapter and puts it in the rearview mirror with Cambridge Analytica,” said Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives. “Investors still had lingering worries that the fine might not be approved. Now, the Street can breathe a little easier.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook has earmarked $3 billion for a potential fine and said in April it was anticipating having to pay up to $5 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while Wall Street — and likely Facebook executives — may be breathing a little easier, the fine alone has not appeased Facebook critics, including privacy advocates and lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reported $5 billion penalty is barely a tap on the wrist, not even a slap,” said Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Facebook Coverage\" tag=\"facebook\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Such a financial punishment for a purposeful, blatant illegality is chump change for a company that makes tens of billions of dollars every year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and others questioned whether the FTC will force Facebook to make any meaningful changes to how it handles user data. This might include limits on what information it collects on people and how it targets ads to them. It’s currently unclear what measures the settlement includes beyond the fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy advocates have been calling on the FTC to come down on Facebook for a decade, but over that time the company’s money, power and Washington influence has only increased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Privacy regulation in the U.S. is broken. While large after-the-fact fines matter, what is much more important is strong, clear rules to protect consumers,” said Nuala O’Connor, president and CEO of the Center for Democracy and Technology. The CDT is pushing for federal online privacy legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some have called on the FTC to hold Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally liable for the privacy violations in some way, but based on the party line vote breakdown, experts said this is not likely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marc Rotenberg, president of the nonprofit online privacy advocacy group Electronic Privacy Information Center, said he was “confused” as to why the Democratic commissioners didn’t support the settlement and said he suspects, without having seen the actual settlement, that this was due to the Zuckerberg liability question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I thought that was misguided,” he said, adding that EPIC instead supports more wholesale limits on how Facebook handles user privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the Cambridge Analytica debacle erupted more than a year ago and prompted the FTC investigation, Facebook has vowed to do a better job corralling its users’ data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That scandal revealed that a data mining firm affiliated with President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign improperly accessed private information from as many as 87 million Facebook users through a quiz app. At issue was whether Facebook violated a 2011 settlement with the FTC over user privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other leaky controls have also since come to light. Facebook acknowledged giving big tech companies like Amazon and Yahoo extensive access to users’ personal data , in effect exempting them from its usual privacy rules. And it collected call and text logs from phones running Google’s Android system in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wall Street appeared unfazed at the prospect of the fine. Facebook’s shares closed at $204.87 on Friday and added 24 cents after hours. The stock is up more than 50 percent since the beginning of the year. In fact, Facebook’s market value has increased by $64 billion since its April earnings report when it announced how much it was expecting to be fined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island, said in a statement that the fine gives Facebook “a Christmas present five months early. It’s very disappointing that such an enormously powerful company that engaged in such serious misconduct is getting a slap on the wrist. This fine is a fraction of Facebook’s annual revenue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cicilline leads the House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust, which is pursuing a bipartisan investigation of the big tech companies’ market dominance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fine, however, doesn’t spell the end of Facebook’s troubles. The company faces a slew of other investigations, both in the U.S. and overseas, that could carry their own fines and, more importantly possible limits to its data collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This includes nearly a dozen by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner, which oversees privacy regulation in the European Union.\u003c/p>\n\n",

This might include limits on what information it collects on people and how it targets ads to them. It’s currently unclear what measures the settlement includes beyond the fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy advocates have been calling on the FTC to come down on Facebook for a decade, but over that time the company’s money, power and Washington influence has only increased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Privacy regulation in the U.S. is broken. While large after-the-fact fines matter, what is much more important is strong, clear rules to protect consumers,” said Nuala O’Connor, president and CEO of the Center for Democracy and Technology. The CDT is pushing for federal online privacy legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some have called on the FTC to hold Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally liable for the privacy violations in some way, but based on the party line vote breakdown, experts said this is not likely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marc Rotenberg, president of the nonprofit online privacy advocacy group Electronic Privacy Information Center, said he was “confused” as to why the Democratic commissioners didn’t support the settlement and said he suspects, without having seen the actual settlement, that this was due to the Zuckerberg liability question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I thought that was misguided,” he said, adding that EPIC instead supports more wholesale limits on how Facebook handles user privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the Cambridge Analytica debacle erupted more than a year ago and prompted the FTC investigation, Facebook has vowed to do a better job corralling its users’ data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That scandal revealed that a data mining firm affiliated with President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign improperly accessed private information from as many as 87 million Facebook users through a quiz app. At issue was whether Facebook violated a 2011 settlement with the FTC over user privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other leaky controls have also since come to light. Facebook acknowledged giving big tech companies like Amazon and Yahoo extensive access to users’ personal data , in effect exempting them from its usual privacy rules. And it collected call and text logs from phones running Google’s Android system in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wall Street appeared unfazed at the prospect of the fine. Facebook’s shares closed at $204.87 on Friday and added 24 cents after hours. The stock is up more than 50 percent since the beginning of the year. In fact, Facebook’s market value has increased by $64 billion since its April earnings report when it announced how much it was expecting to be fined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island, said in a statement that the fine gives Facebook “a Christmas present five months early. It’s very disappointing that such an enormously powerful company that engaged in such serious misconduct is getting a slap on the wrist. This fine is a fraction of Facebook’s annual revenue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cicilline leads the House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust, which is pursuing a bipartisan investigation of the big tech companies’ market dominance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fine, however, doesn’t spell the end of Facebook’s troubles. The company faces a slew of other investigations, both in the U.S. and overseas, that could carry their own fines and, more importantly possible limits to its data collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This includes nearly a dozen by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner, which oversees privacy regulation in the European Union.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
