More problems on Facebook. Federal prosecutors, according to New York Times, ξεκίνησαν μια έρευνα για τις πρακτικές κοινής χρήσης δεδομένων του Facebook που μοιραζόταν με περισσότερες από 150 άλλες εταιρείες τεχνολογίας.
This data contained user information, and in some cases users did not give it without their consent.
The commission is overseen by the office of the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and has requested records from at least two major appliance manufacturers, according to the Times.
Device manufacturers are among the dozens of companies that had Facebook data exchange agreements, and were exempt from standard privacy rules, which allowed them to access users' friends, contact details, and other data.
Facebook naturally stated that it has finished most of these deals.
In one his statement on ZDNet, a millionfaceof Facebook said:
It has already been reported that there are ongoing federal investigations, such as his Ministryof Justice. As we have already stated, we are cooperating with investigators and taking this evidence very seriously. We had given public testimony, answered questions, and promised to keep making changes.
