NetEase technology News September 12, according to foreign media reports, the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will investigate Facebook to find out whether the company's recent changes to the company's privacy policy violated the user's privacy and violated the previous court decision. This August 29, Facebook announced an update to its privacy policy. In this update, users limited their user name and file photo user Marketing related text was removed, in addition Facebook will use face recognition technology, the user avatar into the face recognition database to enhance the "circle of people advice" function.

Zhu Di Seth Jodi, a Facebook spokesman, said in an e-mail statement that the company did not violate court rulings: "Our update of the privacy policy does not give Facebook any additional authority to use the user's information for advertising, The new strategy is to further clarify and explain our existing functions. We attach great importance to this and are confident that we are fully compliant with the FTC agreement. "(Westerly wind)
