The Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic has accused Facebook of violating the country’s privacy laws. In a 36-page complaint submitted to the Canadian Privacy Commissioner, the group outlines 22 separate alleged violations. Facebook failed to disclose to members how their personal information is released to third parties for advertising and other profit-making activities, CIPPIC claims. It also alleges that Facebook failed to obtain permission from its members to disclose their personal information for such uses.
