Specifically, under the proposed settlement, Facebook is:
"barred from making misrepresentations about the privacy or security of consumers' personal information;"
Is this implying companies are allowed to lie? Seems redundant.

The proposed order also contains standard record-keeping provisions to allow the FTC to monitor compliance with its order.
and then further down:
Each violation of such an order may result in a civil penalty of up to $16,000.
I really hope that's up to $16,000 per person for each violation.
