Meta has pushed back on the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s, FTC, efforts to amend its 2020 privacy statement, arguing it revealed two flaws in its kids chat app voluntarily and received no complaints from parents, Leah Nylen of Bloomberg reports. In filings recently made public, Meta said it discovered a bug in its Messenger Kids app in 2019 that allowed some children to chat with users not approved by their parents.
