History

Historical Context

In March 2018 the Cambridge Analytica breach revealed that up to 87 million Facebook profiles had been harvested, prompting a £500,000 UK ICO fine and a $5 billion FTC penalty in July 2019. Those enforcement actions forced Meta to tighten data controls, yet its Muse AI tool recently exposed a Toronto buyer’s address, reviving regulator concerns about repeated privacy lapses.
