Facebook – Company and CEO Controversy
I would like you to research on another controversy Company and CEO – Face Book (FB).
“The securities class action against Facebook alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Specifically, the action alleges that Facebook and certain of its senior executives misled investors regarding the effect of the Company’s data protection practices, policies, and compliance efforts on its business and financial results. The action alleges that the truth first began to be revealed in March 2018 when newspapers and other media outlets reported that Facebook had breached its own privacy and data protection policies, including by allowing a political strategy firm, Cambridge Analytica, to misappropriate and misuse the data of 50 million–later revised to 87 million–Facebook users between 2013 and 2015….”.
