The new method as Facebook is eavesdropping on us

The new method as Facebook is eavesdropping on us

The Facebook application has been sued after being accused of spying on Instagram users, this time using unauthorized mobile phone cameras.

Bloomberg Bussines has published the news where it writes that the lawsuit has started after some reports published in July have revealed that the cameras of the phones are mainly used iphone even when the user is not taking videos or photos. Facebook officials have denied the allegations, saying there may have been a code problem and some users may have been notified of the camera activation.

The initiator is an Instagram user from San Francisco who claims that Facebook, which owns Instagram and WhatsApp, is receiving and accessing highly private data, including users' homes.
