FTC Chair Lina Khan says tech giants such as Meta and Google 'endanger people's privacy' and 'expose them to a host of harms.'

Large social media companies and streaming platforms — including Amazon, Alphabet-owned YouTube, Meta's Facebook and TikTok — engage in a 'vast surveillance of users' to profit off their personal information, endangering privacy and failing to adequately protect children, the Federal Trade Commission said Thursday.

Meta on Tuesday launched Instagram Teen Accounts, a more limited experience for younger users of the platform, in an effort to assuage concerns about the impact of social media on kids.The report recommends steps, including federal legislation, to limit surveillance and give consumers rights over their data.Congress is also moving to hold tech companies accountable for how online content affects kids.
