The revelations that Facebook reportedly lost control of more than 50 million user profiles has already drawn the ire of lawmakers in the UK and the US. Now, the Federal Trade Commission is looking into it too.
The FTC is probing whether Facebook violated the terms of a 2011 consent decree, according to a report in Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the matter. The earlier agreement required that Facebook notify and agree to Facebook sharing their data with outside firms.
