New York Attorney General to Investigate Facebook Email Collection Scandal. Irish Data Protection Commissioner launches statutory inquiry into Facebook’s privacy breach. Canadian regulators are also suing Facebook over Cambridge Analytica scandal. Facebook set aside $5 billion from its revenue to cover a possible fine the company is expecting as a result of an FTC investigation over privacy violations. The social media company has also been hit with three separate investigations from various governmental authorities over the company’s mishandling of its users’ data. Facebook admitted last week it uploaded email contacts from up to 1.5 million new users on its servers, without their consent or knowledge.
