Facebook is the parent company of Instagram. Last month, the company reassured user privacy by restoring all the unencrypted passwords. Around a hundred million users suffered from the leaked passwords. However, none misused the leaked passwords.
Last year, Cambridge Analytica used an app which hijacked the private details of around 87 million users.
Encountering all these incidents, now Facebook has announced some moves to handle the privacy more strictly. It will tighten the handling of data. Not just that, it will also eliminate data sharing partnerships with other companies.
