I do think it's odd that the FTC is going so heavy on one company. Shouldn't we have laws that apply broadly to the industry? It's not as if Meta is the only social media company anymore (is it even the most popular?)

> Pause on the launch of new products, services: The company would be prohibited from releasing new or modified products, services, or features without written confirmation from the assessor that its privacy program is in full compliance with the order’s requirements and presents no material gaps or weaknesses.

Do we really want the government to have to approve every new product a privacy company releases? That seems quite extreme and typically only applies to very specific industries with broad safety concerns (like medical care).
