This same thing should happen to TRUE CALLER.

I still don't know why they display someone's name to any caller with the app without permittion or approval.


And it can be so embarrassing at times.

Imagine you tell a babe your name as nice as Denzel Washington. Then she calls you to find out you are actually called Segun Arinze.

Hmm but wait, after collecting the fine from Facebook will they compensate the American citizens? Or they'll corner the money

godwinkessi:
If anyone hacks my account I’ll sue them for $50B then they’ll know something

Meanwhile tell this Instagram stupid boys that are claiming that they have nothing to do with Facebook that the owner of Facebook also owns instagram and as a matter fact made the money which he used in buying instagram from Facebook

Including whatsapp

Their own politics is different from ours, it improves their society tho.
Bet me, those big shots will like to see Mark down the Forbe's List, Watch it!

Will it be paid to those whose account's privacy was breached?

Privacy breach all the time and hackers who send fake friend requests.

Oh.. let me go and look for evidence please, 5 billion is not small money

The fine was not on behalf of America, rather global.
They were fined by FTC because their company headquarters is located in the United States.
Secondly, nobody will be compensated.
If you seek compassion and have evidence of breach of Privacy agreement, you can sue them to court and claim your damages.

I'm asking on your behalf, you should be thanking me

thats the fact....thaw why European Union enacted the GDPR law

Google and Facebook steal Ur online history and sell it for adverts that how Google make money..that's why their services are free

The money should be shared among the users whose data and privacy was abused. What do you think men?

Y'all claiming victims,want a chunk of the money, well you can rest easy cos 99.9% of you lack important contents on your Facebook, so your privacy is hogwash.

Wow. Over 1.7 trillion Naira.

Social media giant, Facebook has been fined the sum of $5 Billion Dollars by the US Government For Breaching its users’ Privacy.


The US Federal Trade Commission said on Wednesday that Facebook has also agreed to review the way they handle their users’ privacy.

Apart from the $5 Billion Fine, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was asked to make sure the company complies with global privacy measures, to avoid Civil or Criminal Penalties.

FTC Chairman Joe Simons was quoted saying: “Despite repeated promises to its billions of users worldwide that they could control how their personal information is shared, Facebook undermined consumers’ choices.

“The magnitude of the $5 billion penalty and sweeping conduct relief are unprecedented in the history of the FTC.

“The relief is designed not only to punish future violations but, more importantly, to change Facebook’s entire privacy culture to decrease the likelihood of continued violations.”


The $5 Billion fine slammed on Facebook just set a new record as the highest fine ever imposed on a company for breaching its users’ privacy or data, as no other company had ever been fined such amount for privacy breach.


The Federal Trade Commission said that the Facebook ‘Tag Suggestions’ Setting was deceptive as Facebook did set the feature to automatically turn on every users’ account, despite stating in its privacy Page that users are required to opt into the Facial Recognition feature before it can be added to their accounts.

The FTC also stated that Facebook asks’ it’s users to provide their phone numbers so that a security feature can be enabled on their accounts, but failed to also inform the users that their phone numbers are being used for advertising purposes too.

Facebook was also asked to create a board which will be responsible for removing “unfettered control by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over decisions affecting user privacy.”

Lol, make sure you check out the cons of suing a global platform, the court might even decide not to entertain your case for probability purpose.

You might also end up paying damages to the firm and not otherwise.

Allocation for how many states?
