The Federal Trade Commission has slapped Facebook with a $5 billion fine over the social media giant’s recent privacy violations.
In addition to the fine, the FTC is ordering Facbook to add more oversight and to its data collection practices, with an independent ‘privacy committee’ and regular audits.
