The French data protection watchdog has imposed its harshest penalty on Facebook for six breaches of French privacy law. The breaches include tracking users across websites other than Facebook.com without their knowledge. Facebook asked for, and was granted, an extension, in order to respond. The watchdog has now decided to impose a fine — the largest it can under French law — of 150,000 (US$166,000) That might be enough to persuade smaller businesses to change their behavior, but for Facebook it’s just 25 minutes’ profit.”]
