The Federal Trade Commission published a new report about social media platforms and video streaming services’ data collection policies, and the results are damning if not unexpected. The report, which was released on September 19th, found that these platforms not only surveil consumers but often retain vast troves of data indefinitely about users and non-users alike — and suggests they can’t be trusted to regulate themselves.
” The report is based on questions the FTC sent to nine companies in December 2020 under section 6 of the FTC act, which lets the commission conduct studies without a specific law enforcement purpose. The orders were sent to Amazon , Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, X, Snap, ByteDance , Discord, Reddit, and WhatsApp, and focused on these companies’ data-collection and retention practices, as well as how these practices affect children and teenagers.
