(Washington, DC) — The FTC has reportedly voted to approve a roughly five-billion dollar settlement with Facebook. The move signals a potential end to the investigation into the social media giant’s privacy practices. The Washington Post reports that the deal could result in “unprecedented government oversight of the company.” The five-billion-dollar punishment against Facebook would set a record as the largest penalty against a tech company that failed to follow through on a promise to improve privacy practices.
