Earlier this year, the world’s largest social networking platform admitted to enabling third-party companies have access to personal data of over 87 million of its users. Since then, authorities have been scrambling around the world to hit Facebook with the right penalties. After news from the UK that the country’s information watchdog is going for the maximum possible financial fine (which turns out to be just £500K), Australia appears to be the next in line.

Over 311,000 users in Australia were potentially affected by Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica data misuse scandal. Only 53 Australians actually downloaded the Facebook app “this is your digital life” that led to the information leak and the entire Cambridge Analytica scandal. But consent from these 53 users was used to get personal data of over 310,000 Australians in total.
