Epic Games to pay $520 million for privacy violations and unwanted charges
The FTC announced that Epic Games has agreed to pay $520 million, due to "violating children's privacy laws" and "tricking users into making unwanted charges".
@henrikpihl@gamingonlinux This. 👆🏼 Whilst it’s always a good thing to see a bad actor punished for ripping off consumers, even $520 million is just pocket change for #EpicGames … And we know from all the fines handed out to other big tech companies (#Facebook , #Google , #Microsoft , etc…) that it’s unlikely to change their behaviour.
