Battling the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, Facebook has now filed a lawsuit in California state court against Rankwave, a South Korean data analytics company that ran apps on its platform.
The lawsuit alleged that Rankwave abused Facebook’s developer platform’s data and refused to cooperate with a mandatory compliance audit and request to delete the data.
« Facebook was investigating Rankwave’s data practices in relation to its advertising and marketing services.
« Rankwave failed to cooperate with our efforts to verify their compliance with our policies, which we require of all developers using our platform, » Jessica Romero, Director of Platform Enforcement and Litigation said in a statement on late Friday.
