Facebook has shut down all accounts and access for New York University’s Ad Observatory project ...
Facebook falsely claimed that it was required to do so under the terms of its Consent Decree with the US Federal Trade Commission <https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/08/facebook-falsely-claims-ftc-forced-it-to-disable-nyu-researchers-accounts/>. The FTC pointed out that the claim was false, and Facebook has separately admitted that the claim was false, yet its blog post claiming this as the reason has not been corrected.
