Is The Third Time The Charm For Congressmen Concerned With Facebook's Privacy Practices?
U.S. Reps Edward Markey and Joe Barton yesterday sent their their third letter to Facebook in seven months regarding privacy concerns.
U.S. Representatives Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and Joe Barton (R-TX) expressed concern over recent security breaches in a letter to Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday, their third letter to the company in seven months regarding privacy concerns.
The correspondence comes a day after Symantec revealed that a vulnerability gave advertisers and other third parties access to users’ accounts and personal information.
Facebook said in a statement Tuesday that the particular problem had been fixed immediately and that an investigation “revealed no evidence of this issue resulting in a user’s private information being shared with unauthorized third parties.”
