Content: Relationships Between Social Media Companies and Users
Users of social media agree to broad terms and conditions when they join social media platforms. Much of the relationship is based on the company's: Privacy policies,
Marketing materials, and
Standards and practices. The high-profile data breach involving Facebook and Cambridge Analytica is an example of a violation of the company's standards and practices. Many U.S. jurisdictions have some version of data breach notice laws requiring companies to reveal disclosures of information so companies like Facebook can be subject to fines when they don't inform consumers of these breaches.
