The US Federal Trade Commission is ordering nine tech companies to provide data to the federal agency on how they collect and use people's personal information in what is a sweeping crackdown on targeted data tracking.
The FTC's order affects Amazon, TikTok's China-based parent ByteDance, Discord, Facebook, the Facebook-owned messaging service WhatsApp, Reddit, Snap, Twitter, and Google-owned YouTube, according to a Monday press release.
