The Canadian Privacy Commissioner has filed a lawsuit against social media giant Facebook after it refused to take extra measures to protect the user data. After a year-long investigation, the lawsuit demands Facebook to implement effective, specific and easily accessible measures to obtain meaning consent from users. It also seeks to stop Facebook from further collecting, using and disclosing any personal information.
