FACEBOOK faces a probe from the UK's Information
Commissioners Office (ICO) over its controversial user experiment, with
the watchdog set to investigate whether the social network broke the
law.
The Financial Times
has heard from the ICO that it will examine Facebook's user experiment,
which saw it manipulating News Feeds, to see whether the firm has broke
the law. An ICO spokesperson told the newspaper that "it was too early
to tell exactly what part of the law Facebook may have infringed."
It seems Facebook's user study could get it into a fair bit of
bother, as on Tuesday it was revealed that the firm added a "research"
clause to its terms and conditions (T&Cs) four months after it began
manipulating what users saw on the social network.
