FTC considers setting aside or modifying $150 million privacy penalty against X
The FTC is considering modifying a $150 million privacy penalty against X (formerly Twitter). X argues the settlement terms are unfair because the company has changed significantly since the penalty was issued, the individuals responsible for the alleged misconduct no longer work there, and the company has implemented a robust privacy and data protection program.
