We have ordered several firms to detail their user surveillance and behavioral advertising practices, including:@TikTok_us@Facebook@Amazon@Snapchat@YouTube@Reddit@Discord @Twitter
Good to see some underexamined companies on this list. TikTok, obviously, but Discord too. https://t.co/ZhvmCIxky3

Bravo @chopraftc and @FTC colleagues for vital inquiry into the mechanisms of #SurveillanceCapitalism. We need to get under the hood and into the motor if we are to interrupt and outlaw its anti-democratic and anti-human operations.@davidcicillinehttps://t.co/LhWxUMJSay https://t.co/zyKHAEnzPQ

Following the FTC's antitrust lawsuit against Facebook last week, the agency is now ordering nine tech companies including the social media giant to hand over info about their data practices. https://t.co/JM7YlrBJ69

For you FTC heads, this is a 6(b) study, which allows the FTC to gather lots of data on company practices without a specific law enforcement purpose.

Notably absent from the FTC's list? Apple.

Incredible that Apple launched their #PrivacyNutritionLabels the same day the FTC announced this probe.
Brilliant brand positioning! https://t.co/L8Q6qEyqOT

Scoop: FTC set to announce wide-ranging study into privacy/data collection practices of ByteDance, Amazon, Discord, Facebook, Reddit, Snap, Twitter, WhatsApp and YouTube https://t.co/9GDqs1FtC3

Just finished reading the sample order and I am frankly stunned. I worked on several 6(b) studies while at the FTC and I've never seen one go out the FTC's doors that is anywhere near this extensive and unfocused. It's like demanding a backdoor into the cos' networks. https://t.co/gJ1ojfOqoW

I'm curious as to whether any of you think there are companies that *should* have received one of these little Christmas cards from the FTC but didn't. https://t.co/GecSuloeXR

The FTC is kicking off a fresh study of how online platforms handle consumer data — sending letters requesting info from Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and YouTube, as well as apps like Discord, Snap and Reddit: https://t.co/EjZNnU2U6U
— Brian Fung (@b_fung) December 14, 2020
Discord is in the group, which makes sense. Also highlights the platform’s rising size. https://t.co/stoMhNtVi8

This is great news. Amazon never tells anyone what they do with user data. https://t.co/Wa2qFwbfJT pic.twitter.com/Bc5dqMnGT9

FTC is demanding Snap, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook/WhatsApp, YouTube, TikTok and Discord answer questions about ad targeting, algorithms, tracking and "how their practices affect children and teens" https://t.co/dOsnVSWBKg

I think I'm pretty comfortable in saying "if you're reluctant to do this, you're almost certainly doing something you shouldn't be doing." https://t.co/wefJhaVkru

FTC issued the orders under Section 6(b) of the FTC Act, which authorizes the Commission to conduct wide-ranging studies that do not have a specific law enforcement purpose.
