A fine of five million pounds has been imposed in Britain on the social media website Company Facebook, in the Cambridge Anilica Data Protection Case. The media committee of the British Parliament investigated this matter. Committee chairman Damian Collins said that the decision to impose a penalty of £ 5 million on Facebook has been decided on the failure of the users to keep their information secure.
The Office of the Information Commissioner found that Facebook has violated the law by failing to keep people's information safe. He said that Facebook should now present its internal inquiry report to the Office of the Commissioner of Information, our Committee and other relevant investigating authorities.
The Information Commissioner Office (ICO) was investigating this against Facebook since the beginning of this year. This investigation started with an app showing evidence of data leak of millions of Facebook users across the world. In a Progress Report on Wednesday, the British Data Regulator said that it is preparing to issue a notice for the maximum penalty imposed on data theft under Facebook under the Data Protection Act.
Facebook violated the law
In the investigation of the ICO, it has been said that Facebook failed to provide Safeguard information to people's information and thus violated the law. It was also said that Facebook was also failing in the Transparency issue that the data of the users was stolen by other people.
8.7 million users data leaked
Facebook has already recognized that data from the British consultancy firm Cambridge Analyte is likely to leak data of 8.7 million users. Cambridge Antoitica was working for the campaign of the President Donald Trump in the US election in 2016. However, Cambridge Aniolica has rejected these charges and has filed for voluntary banker's in the US and UK.
Facebook's Chief Privacy Officer Erin Igan said, "As we have already said that we should investigate and take action in Cambridge analytics in 2015. Now as soon as we have information in the UK and other countries, Together with the Commissioner, they are collaborating in investigating Cambridge analytics. "
