The beginning of a bad time for Facebook is 2019
Over the past year, we see many charges on Facebook. We heard and read that Facebook is selling personal data of its users.In this regard, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg had to appear before the US Senate for a question-and-answer. Facebook also accepted its mistakes and promises to not repeat them again.
Ireland's Data Protection Committee announced in December that they are about to begin investigating against Facebook.
Apart from this, many countries have admitted that personal data of their citizens on Facebook is not secure. It can have serious consequences for Facebook.
Kate Colleary, director of the International Association of Privacy Practitioners (IAPP), has said, "Our main objective is to adopt the right methods to prevent such disturbances. And if this is not enough, then we will investigate at the administrative level. "
The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has said in this regard that if the company's mistake proves, then 4 percent of its global earnings can be recovered as Fines.
Fines money on Facebook can exceed US $ 150 million.
Difficulties for Facebook are not going to end here. Apart from investigations in Ireland, the Federal Trade Committee of America (FCT) is also conducting an investigation on Facebook based on the agreement made in 2011.
As part of this agreement, Facebook has promised that it will take the person's approval before receiving personal data or sharing it with anyone else.
Facebook has said on many occasions that he did not violate this agreement. Despite this, FCT wants to investigate further on this issue.
If this committee found in its investigation that Facebook has violated the agreement then it could be subjected to a lot of penalties.
According to the agreement, the number of days it has been infringed upon this would have to be fined US $ 40 thousand per day according to the agreement.
Not only this, this Fines will grow with every user. Only in America, there are 8 million users on Facebook. Accordingly, Facebook may face a fine of 300 million US Dollars.
Although the probability of this is low, because the FCT is not meant to destroy any American company. He just wants to stop the wrongdoings of that company.
In an interview with the Washington Post, FCT Director David Waldek said that Fines could go up to $ 1 billion on Facebook.
Many countries agree that Facebook is a very big company with the power of social media.
By the way, Mark Zuckerberg had said in the US Senate that he had many opponents. But he did not name those rivals.
Broadly, there is no other company standing in front of Facebook in the social media. Facebook has taken ownership of whatsapp and Instagram. And if another company tries to get into the social media world, then Facebook also buys it.
According to the New Statesman Magazine, Facebook can prepare to divide its company into different parts.
In general, Facebook can be divided into these four parts under the supervision of their experts.
1 - Facebook - Major Social Media Platform
2 - whatsapp
3 - Instagram
4 - Facebook Messenger
During Mark Zuckerberg's hearing in the US Senate, Senator John Kennedy had told Zuckerberg that he was not in favor of putting restrictions on Facebook but if such disturbances came out, they would be forced to do so.
Many people in the United States believe that certain rules should be set for Facebook.
At the same time Facebook has also said on many occasions that he is ready to set rules for himself, just that all the rules have been made in the right direction, and that there is no problem in talking to the internet users who interact with each other.
In this way it can be assumed that some rules or restrictions on Facebook may be sure.
Democrat MP Mark Warner says that Facebook should start data portability, which means that social media users can go to another service instead of a service according to their convenience.
Apart from this, this information from Facebook can also be asked where and with whom he is sharing the data.
Such rules can apply not only to Facebook, but to all those platforms that keep personal data of people. It also includes Google.
After a debate about data theft of Facebook in Facebook last year, Cambridge University conducted a survey with about 1,000 Facebook users in April.
In this survey, 31 percent of the people said that they will reduce the use of Facebook in the coming days.
