Fortnite fined $520 million for predatory design practices
Fortnite maker Epic has been fined $520 million by the FTC.
The fine has been issued over a range of business practices, including alleged violations of children's privacy and tricking users into unintentional purchases.
The settlement also includes changes to Epic's interfaces, such as adding friction to the purchase process to avoid accidental payments;
A new instant purchase cancellation system;
Turning off voice chats for minors as well as following this channel for more tech news.
Okay maybe not that last part, but let me know what you think in the comments.
This case also highlights the FTC's focus on deceptive design, with the regulator seemingly zeroing in on the manipulative power of digital interfaces.
