    "FTC sues Cambridge Analytica...

    Following its announcement of a $5 billion fine for Facebook Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit against the company at the center of privacy scandal, Cambridge Analytica. The complaint says that the data firm was responsible for 'deceptive acts and practices to harvest personal information from Facebook users.'..."

    PS: Netflix today has a new documentary on Cambridge Analytica called "The Great Hack." Reviews have been very good.

    A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected Facebook Inc’s (FB.O) effort to undo a class action lawsuit claiming that it illegally collected and stored biometric data for millions of users without their consent.

    The 3-0 decision from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco exposes Facebook to billions of dollars in potential damages to the Illinois users who brought the case..."
