Facebook faces $1bn fine for breach of Australian privacy law over Cambridge Analytica scandal
The Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) has lodged Federal Court proceedings against Facebook over the Cambridge Analytica data breaches. Should the social media giant be found guilty, it faces a fine of over $1bn.
The data of more than 300,000 Australians was exposed in the breach, which saw Cambridge Analytica gain access to personal data for election campaign use.

FB should be punished, otherwise the incentive to keep BAU will override.
An obvious breach of consumer trust and deserves the book to be thrown. Arrogant commercialism.
