The European Commission and EU Member States have negotiated a change to the terms of providing services by Facebook. There was doubt about the lack of clear information about how Facebook uses personal data of its users, and the rules concerning the company’s liability.
On Thursday, April 11, the European Commission announced the effect of the negotiations.
In the aftermath of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and as a follow-up to the investigation on social media platforms in 2018, the European Commission and national consumer protection authorities requested Facebook to clearly inform consumers how the social network gets financed and what revenues are derived from the use of consumer data. They also requested the platform to bring the rest of its terms of service in line with EU Consumer Law.
