Brazil fines Facebook $1.6 million over improper data sharing
Brazil announced that it had fined Facebook $1.6 million over improperly sharing user data with Cambridge Analytica.
In issuing the fine, the Department of Consumer Protection said the data of 443,000 Facebook users was “misused” by developers of the Facebook app “thisisyourdigitallife.”
The agency ruled the data was used “for questionable purposes and without the represented parties being able to demonstrate any modifying fact that that number was actually smaller.”
