TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission concluded that Meta unlawfully collected sensitive information of around 980,000 Facebook users, including their religion, political views and whether they were in same-sex unions, and shared the data with 4,000 advertisers.

VERBATIM: The information included data about their political views and sexual orientation. Meta is accused of sharing the information with thousands of advertisers for targeted advertisements. It was the latest in a series of penalties against Meta by South Korean authorities in recent years as they increase their scrutiny of how the company handles private information.
