I also don’t think the title will lead you to any surprises given the history of this social network. It is true that it was the first one that entered our lives that succeeded, but that does not mean that it is the best, let alone the one that protects our data. In addition to the fines received in recent years, we have been able to verify how she has been sheared several times for very questionable actions. The motto: Nobody gives anything for free, with Facebook it becomes reality. He treats us as if we were a commodity. Our data in your hands is not safe and the EU has just confirmed it with a record fine.
In the annals of history, Facebook will remain as the social network that helped us find our lost friends from school, institute or university and even from that wonderful summer we spent in this city. on the side. But above all, and for what will pass on to subsequent generations, is its ability to tamper with the personal data of each of its users. For this reason, he was interrogated many times and fined as many times. But now, the fine is record. Even if you think that’s a lot of money, surely you, like me, would have fined him a much higher amount.
It was fined one billion three hundred million dollars (one thousand two hundred million dollars) by European Union regulators for mishandling user information, and ordered to suspend the transfer of user data from the EU to the US. Seems like little money and really for what it charges, it is. This is probably what he manages to earn in a few months. But it goes beyond that. This is an alarm signal and above all you are asked to suspend data transfers. Something that will earn him little money in the medium term.
This is a record number, not because the amount is high in terms of Facebook but because it is in terms of sanctioning body, He had never reached this amount before. He exceeded the almost 800 million he imposed on Amazon.
Facebook has defended itself by saying it is unfair and helpless and setting a bad precedent for other companies that transfer information from the EU to the US. We assume it will be like this, but my data is private and it is not exchanged. I’m sure Meta is the only one who disagrees.
