“Today, the @FTC launched an inquiry into the social media and video streaming industry. We have ordered several firms to detail their user surveillance and behavioral advertising practices, including: TikTok_us, Facebook, Amazon, Snapchat, YouTube, Reddit, Discord , Twitter” About time! This inquiry should shed light on “how these companies track individuals, mine personal data, deploy algorithms, and monetize user behavior, as well as how these practices impact children.
