WASHINGTON - Facebook Inc will end access to limited friend data from Microsoft Corp and Sony Corp as a first step under a record $5 billion U.S. Federal Trade Commission settlement announced on Wednesday, the world’s largest social media company said.
Since April 2018 Facebook has been reviewing how it shares data with other companies, in response to the FTC probe. “Recently, a third party alerted us to a bug, which led us to investigate and find that, unfortunately, our codebase had enabled continued data access for some of these partners,” Archibong said.
