  • The US Federal Trade Commission is ordering Amazon, Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, Discord, ByteDance, Reddit, Snap, and Twitter to show the agency how they collect and use people's personal information online.
  • The order is inquiring into how the firms track data and target online ads to consumers, whether they use algorithms to handle personal information, and how their online practices affect kids and teens.
  • The companies have 45 days to respond to the order from the day they receive it.
  • Lawmakers have increasingly signaled that they intend to crack down on tech companies, and public discourse has centered around holding the companies more accountable.
