Facebook and Privacy
This discussion question presents an issue regarding privacy and whether or not you agree with the government’s ruling. In 2019, the U.S. government fined Facebook $5 billion. Based on the government ruling, FB’s management evidence unethical behavior by breaching users privacy and did not adhere to 2011 agreement with the government. Or do you disagree with the government and believe that FB didn’t breach the privacy of its users?(In other words, was FB’s management following its business model. Allow users to use FB platform to upload information for free and FB offers advertisers and others to tap into FB’s vast network of over 2.4 billion active users. These issues are complex and tap into the concepts of ethics and social responsibility.
