Lawsuit adds to Facebook woes on data protection

Lawsuit adds to Facebook woes on data protectionFacebook's woes mounted Wednesday as it faced a lawsuit alleging privacy violations related to data leaked to a consultancy working on Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, and as a new report suggested it shared more data with partners than it has acknowledged. Facebook shares already sagging under the weight of the social network's troubles ended the trading day down 7.25 percent to $133.24 and slipped even lower in after-market trades. The suit filed by the attorney general for the US capital Washington is likely the first by an official US body that could impose consequences on the world's leading social network for data misuse.
