Another case of selling consumer data on Facebook.

A company called Sucks for Three has sued for sharing consumer data to gain the pleasure of advertising companies on Facebook.  A US company, ‘Six For Three’, has filed a lawsuit accusing Facebook of selling consumer data.  It states that Facebook has shared consumer data to help large advertising companies overtake competitors. ‘Six For Three’  has filed a report of 7,000 pages , Of which 4,000 pages contain users’ personal emails and web chats, while 1200 pages contain ‘highly confidential’ information. Founder Mark Zuckerberg and his team share specific data with their large partners on a priority basis.

The document also states that advertising to Amazon, the world’s largest online company, gives users access to specific data.  While the new emerging company ‘Message Me’ app refuses to give data And this is done for the enjoyment of the Amazon.

On the other hand, Facebook has termed the case as baseless. However, Facebook also requested the court to hand over the document, which the court approved and sealed the document so that it could not go out. This is not the first time Facebook has been accused of sharing data, Earlier in 2016, British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica used the personal data of more than 87 million users for President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, In July, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also fined $ 5 billion for failing to protect users’ data and privacy on Facebook.

It should be noted that Facebook is also on the list of companies that have admitted to listening and spying on consumer conversations.  However, Mark Ziegerburk later assured that the process of listening to the messages was stopped.
