Facebook says it uploaded email contacts of up to 1.5 million users, in what seems to be the latest privacy-related issue faced by the social media company by Ishita_CP Kanishka183
- Facebook Inc said on Wednesday it may have “unintentionally uploaded” email contacts of 1.5 million new users since May 2016, in what seems to be the latest privacy-related issue faced by the social media company.
In March, Facebook had stopped offering email password verification as an option for people who signed up for the first time, the company said. There were cases in which email contacts of people were uploaded to Facebook when they created their account, the company said. When an email password was entered, a message popped up saying it was “importing” contacts without asking for permission first, the report said.
Last year, the company came under fire following revelations that Cambridge Analytica, a British political consulting firm, obtained personal data of millions of people’s Facebook profiles without their consent.
