Federal Court of Appeal Rules Against Facebook in Privacy Case

The Federal Court of Appeal has sided with the privacy watchdog in a long-running case against Facebook. The court concluded that Facebook breached the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) by failing to obtain meaningful consent from users prior to data disclosure and failing to safeguard user data. This ruling involves third-party apps, including the notorious Cambridge Analytica scandal. The court also noted that the Federal Court erred in its analysis of meaningful consent and safeguarding under PIPEDA.
