Fortnite maker Epic has been fined $520 million by the FTC.

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.
