Children’s Privacy: NGL “Not gonna lie…” — but the app did to harm kids, says the FTC
In an unprecedented move, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office charged NGL (“not gonna lie”), a popular social media app downloaded millions of times, with cyber bullying and threatening teens and children. The company will be required to pay $5 million as part of a settlement that claimed its employees hooked kids into paying for services and preyed on them by tricking them into believing false messages of threats or solicitations produced by the company were sent by real users.
