Facebook has spoken out about the U.S. government`s requests for information that it deems unconstitutional. Facebook`s deputy general counsel Chris Sonderby last month issued a statement about the site`s legal battle over such a search warrant, in which the government questioned nearly all of the data of 381 Facebook users. Only 62 of the searches were charged with obstructing a fraud case. After the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the social media giant experienced a lot of backlash due to its intrusive data collection guidelines. To give users the impression that they have more control over their personal data, the company released on April 4 a new update to its terms of use – the first since 2015 – in relatively user-friendly and understandable language. Andrew Ledvina, a former Facebook data researcher from early 2012 to the summer of 2013, told the Wall Street Journal that Facebook does not have an internal audit body to oversee the data science team`s scientific studies. He said the team had the freedom to try almost any test you wanted as long as it didn`t affect the user experience. He added that the sheer mass of topics in the experiment was sometimes difficult to understand and had hundreds of thousands of users. As he said, “You`re a little desensitized.” This information allows your users to decide whether they agree with the level of personal data you want to collect and allows them to make an informed decision whether or not to continue using your Facebook app. The declaration must inform users about the collection and use of commercial data.

In the EU, both the privacy policy and the ePrivacy Directive ensure that users of websites and applications are informed about the collection and use of their personal data. Compliance with these directives can be achieved through the clear publication of an easily understandable data protection directive. A: Many of the issues raised by these new terms of service are directly related to the Fraley V. Facebook class action – a case that involves Facebook`s use of photos and usernames in connection with “Sponsored Stories”. As part of this comparison, Facebook has been instructed to update its terms of service to reflect its practices. . . .
