Another case of selling consumer data on Facebook

WASHINGTON: The social networking website has sued a company called Sucks for Three for sharing consumer data to gain favor with advertising companies on Facebook. According to the International News Agency, a US company, 'Six For Three' has filed a lawsuit accusing Facebook of selling consumer data. It states that Facebook has been sharing consumer data to help large advertising companies overtake rivals. Six For Pages has also filed a 7,000-page report out of which 4,000 pages contain users' personal emails and web chats, while 1,200 pages contain 'highly confidential' information. Founder Mark Zuckerberg and his team share specific data with their large partners on a priority basis. The document also says that advertising to Amazon, the world's largest online company, gives users access to specific data while the new emerging company 'Message Me' refuses to give data. And is done for the enjoyment of the Amazon. Facebook, on the other hand, declared the case unfounded, but Facebook also requested the court to hand over the document, which the court approved, and sealed the document so that it could not go out. This is not the first time that Facebook has been accused of data sharing before British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica used personal data from more than 87 million users for President Donald Trump's presidential campaign in July. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also fined $ 5 billion for failing to protect and protect consumer data on Facebook. It should be noted that Facebook is also included in the list of companies that have admitted to listening and spying on users, but Mark Ziegerburk later assured that the process of listening to the messages was stopped
