Instagram removes ad partner that tracked millions of users' locations
Facebook's privacy woes aren't over in the wake of its FTC fine. The company has pulled the marketing company Hyp3r from Instagram's ad platform after Business Insider learned that the agency had been collecting massive amounts of data in violation of the social network's rules. Hyp3r reportedly exploited a "security lapse" that let it collect the specific locations of "millions" of public posts. It also violated terms of service by saving public Stories and automatically scraping data from public profiles (including bios and followers), according to BI.
