Spain’s data protection agency slaps Facebook with €1.2 million fine

Facebook has been fined 1.2 million euros ($1.4 million) for allegedly collecting personal data from its users in Spain without obtaining their "unequivocal consent" and without informing them, the Spanish Data Protection Agency said. The agency also said FB’s privacy policy contains “generic and unclear terms,” and it did not remove the personal data which it collects from its data base even when a user requests this.
