New York investigating Facebook over storage of 'unauthorized' email contacts
Facebook said it may have"unintentionally uploaded" email contacts of up to 1.5 million new users since May 2016, adding that the"contacts were not shared with anyone and we are deleting them."New York Attorney General Letitia James said on Thursday she is investigating Facebook's unauthorized storage of up to 1.5 million Facebook users' email contact databases, the latest privacy issue to affect the US social media giant.
James said on Thursday in a statement that when the individuals' contacts were taken into account "the total number of people whose information was improperly obtained may be hundreds of millions." James called last week's disclosure "the latest demonstration that Facebook does not take seriously its role in protecting our personal information."
On Wednesday, Facebook said it had set aside $3 billion to cover a settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission over privacy issues.
