The details of the settlement make clear that Facebook, which boasts over 800m users, betrayed its
users' trust. It is also notable because it appears to be part of a broader attempt by the FTC to craft a
new privacy framework to deal with the swift rise of social networks in America.

Europe. Hence its willingness to negotiate the settlement unveiled this week, which should be
finalized at the end of December after a period for public comment.
