Wall Street Journal: FTC has investigated Facebook for deceptive trade practices. The two sides are close to a settlement, the report says, citing unnamed sources. Facebook declined to comment on the report. FTC typically does not comment on investigations until the agency files a complaint in court or announces a settlement. Privacy groups have repeatedly complained about Facebook’s privacy practices in recent years. In September, two U.S. lawmakers called on the FTC to investigate Facebook for tracking users even after they log out of the site.”]
