These include how many researchers or journalists have had their accounts disabled this year, why, and how was Facebook changing its terms of service to better accommodate research.\nFacebook has said that the research violated rules to protect the privacy of the social media company's users.\nFacebook paid a record $5 billion fine in 2019 to resolve allegations it had violated a Federal Trade Commission consent order by misleading users about how much control they had over their personal data.\nSeparately, the FTC sued Facebook in December for allegedly violating antitrust law. That complaint was dismissed and the agency has an Aug. 19 deadline to refile it.\nIn the letter, the lawmakers also asked how the NYU researchers' work hurt people's privacy. They referenced a letter from Samuel Levine, the FTC's acting director of consumer protection, which said the NYU research did not violate a consent agreement between the agency and Facebook.\n\"Does Facebook intend to restore the Ad Observatory researchers' access?\" the lawmakers asked, giving the company until Aug. 20 to reply.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":898555707,"gmtCreate":1628513562309,"gmtModify":1703507336999,"author":{"id":"3568893769658331","authorId":"3568893769658331","name":"Idl3mind","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73c568907b1cd98414bc36c7c2df4f1a","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b0a2963eb37c60c5d6d4a8dbcd266952","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3568893769658331","authorIdStr":"3568893769658331"},"htmlText":"Wow that’s some news&nbsp;","listText":"Wow that’s some news&nbsp;","text":"Wow that’s some news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/898555707","repostId":2158488764,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":898592250,"gmtCreate":1628507771570,"gmtModify":1703507250130,"author":{"id":"3574116666789867","authorId":"3574116666789867","name":"Minion","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3574116666789867","authorIdStr":"3574116666789867"},"htmlText":"Oh noooo","listText":"Oh noooo","text":"Oh noooo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/898592250","repostId":2158488764,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5472027,"gmtCreate":1628507802886,"gmtModify":1663232126337,"authorId":3574116666789867,"author":{"id":3574116666789867,"idStr":"3574116666789867","authorId":3574116666789867,"name":"Minion","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":898592250,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>like</u>","text":"<u>like</u>","html":"<u>like</u>"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":898504353,"gmtCreate":1628507087572,"gmtModify":1703507238781,"author":{"id":"3578612626332852","authorId":"3578612626332852","name":"KRIS0330","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c66660a5496fad25bd4bfe7c228b1cef","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3578612626332852","authorIdStr":"3578612626332852"},"htmlText":"Gd job ~Pls fly.
