Spanish regulators slapped Facebook with a $1.4 million fine over how it collects personal information on its users. The Spanish Data Protection Agency said that it found three cases of Facebook collecting information on ideology, sex, religious beliefs, personal tastes and browser history without properly notifying users what the data was being obtained for.
