Meta and the FTC propose a Wednesday deadline for the filing of the FTC’s opposition and anticipated cross-motion to Meta’s motion for a preliminary injunction to block the agency from modifying its 2020 privacy consent order to include new restrictions on Meta’s business activities, said their joint meet and confer statement Thursday (docket 1:23-cv-03562) in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Dec. 27 is their proposed deadline for Meta’s response, and the FTC’s reply would be due Jan. 10, followed by a hearing Jan. 17 or 18 on the preliminary injunction motion, said the statement. They structured the proposed schedule to allow Meta’s injunction motion and the FTC’s anticipated cross-motion to be briefed and heard before Jan. 31, said the statement. That's Meta's newly extended deadline to respond to the FTC’s May 3 order to show cause why the commission shouldn’t modify the 2020 consent order and enter the new restrictions, said the statement. 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 (see 2311300039).
