Facebook Privacy issues

Facebook has been receiving a lot of backlash lately for all its privacy problems. Ever since people discovered that Facebook can track you and is tracking you it's been quite unsettling. People became concerned as it was. Then the cherry on the cake happened. Millions of facebook accounts got hacked. A lot of people's personal information became the product of black market information. It also became known that Facebook was giving out people's personal information to other big companies like Amazon and Yahoo. People became outraged and felt that all their personal information was everywhere and exposed. Also facebook collected calls and datas from peoples phones if they were running on a google android system. In the end after many lawsuits facebook is settled to pay five billion for privacy mishaps. Paying this is their small fine to pay. It does not due justice to all the privacy lost and all the personal information wasted that Facebook gave companies access to. I feel that after this hopefully facebook has learned their lesson and is not subject to do this kind of act again. Some people claim that facebook getting caught and fined is well needed. For breech has been happening for the past eight years.
