Facebook risks these criminal charges in multiple investigations over its privacy practices: by TheAlexKnapp
a multibillion-dollar fine to the social media giant, suggesting the FTC believes that Facebook was in the wrong with how it handled its users’ data .sharing user information with software partners didn’t violate its prior privacy deal with the FTC, nor did it harm consumers. However, as a part of its 2012 settlement agreement, Facebook was required to keep regular records of its privacy practices so the FTC could monitor its compliance.
There are other laws that may be implicated here beyond just not accurately reporting privacy practices, according to Hoofnagle. Certain practices, he notes, might be considered “wiretapping” if users’ communications were intercepted.If Facebook provided false information to the FTC, prison is a possibility, though not likely. Federal law prohibits making false statements to the government, and that’s punishable by up to five years in prison.
