Description

The bad news for Facebook just keeps coming.
Techworld reports that, at one time, Facebook considered charging companies for access to its user data.
The information comes from a report based on three pages of unredacted material from an 18-page internal Facebook document.
The document showed portions of some internal Facebook emails, mainly from about 2012 to 2014.
The documents are linked to a lawsuit, Six4Three LLC v. Facebook Inc., alleging that Facebook's data policies were anticompetitive.
The emails released show that Facebook discussed ways to monetize its user data the way some other tech firms have done.
