--Information Commissioner’s Office Fine of £500,000
against Facebook October 2018 (use of data analytics
for political purposes)
“The ICO’s investigation found that between 2007 and
2014, Facebook processed the personal information of
users unfairly by allowing application developers access
to their information without sufficiently clear and
informed consent, and allowing access even if users had
not downloaded the app, but were simply ‘friends’ with
people who had.” ICO
7. Legal & Ethical Consideration
-The wider picture: big data, profiling, automated
decision-making?
-Cambridge Analytica scandal, use for political
advertising and voter manipulation
-Discrimination: employment, insurance, banking
-Price discrimination
-Profiles used for crime & terrorism prevention in an
illegitimate way
8. Legal & Ethical Considerations
-Fair commercial practices- fairness?
-Individual autonomy
-Challenge: complexity of the advertising landscape and
the “free content” business model
