Facebook is facing a fine of
£500,000 after a UK regulator found
the social media platform breached
data protection rules.
The announcement was made by
Information Commissioner Elizabeth
Denham as part of a detailed
update on her office’s investigation
into the use of data analytics in
political campaigns.
The ICO intends to fine Facebook
a maximum £500,000 for two
breaches of the Data Protection
Act 1998.
Facebook has a chance to respond
to the Commissioner’s Notice of
Intent, after which a final decision
will be made.
