Canadian Privacy Watchdog Accuses Facebook of Failing to Protect User Data

Canada’s main privacy watchdog said a year-long probe found Facebook Inc. broke the country’s privacy laws and failed to protect Canadians’ personal information, and will go to court to force the social-media company to fix the deficiencies it uncovered. A report released by the privacy commissioner of Canada and privacy commissioner for the province of British Columbia said the company disputes the watchdogs’ findings and has refused to act on the report’s recommendations.
