Facebook was again fined for violating user data privacy

After a data scandal with Cambridge Analytica, Facebook was recently fined $ 6.5 million by the Canadian Competition Bureau for sharing user information with other companies.

Facebook as well as many other large technology companies have always been the target of attention of many people on issues related to the management and processing of their user data. In recent years, the world's largest social network has been fined several times in many countries around the world for sharing personal data of users with research firm Cambridge Analytica of England.

Recently, the company continued to be fined by the Competition Department of Canada (CBC) a fine of 6.5 million USD for the reason related to user personal data. The agency accused Facebook of sharing illegal user data with third-party developers. In addition, CBC believes that Facebook has made false or misleading statements about the privacy of Canadian user data.

According to Phone Arena , Facebook disagrees with the allegations as well as the information released by CBC. However, it still agrees to pay a fine to resolve the problem.

The company was previously fined in the United States, Britain, Australia and several other countries for a scandal with Cambridge Analytica in 2016 when the personal information of 87 million Facebook users globally was collected through an online survey.
