Friday Scheduling Conference Is Set on Meta’s Motion for Injunction vs. FTC

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss for the District of Columbia ordered the parties to appear for a scheduling conference Friday at 10 a.m. on Meta’s motion for an injunction blocking the FTC from modifying the agency's 2020 privacy consent order with new restrictions on Meta’s business activities (see 2311300039), said the judge’s minute order Monday (docket 1:23-cv-03562). In addition, Moss ordered the parties to submit a proposed scheduling order by Thursday. Meta’s Nov. 29 complaint asked the court to declare that “fundamental aspects” of the FTC’s structure violate the Constitution, and that those violations “render unlawful” the FTC’s proceeding against Meta.
