Italy's data protection fines Facebook of 1 million euros for violating privacy laws over the Cambridge Analytica case. FB had gained access to 87 million users data through an app for psychological tests illegally, hence the penalty. The privacy watchdog said the fine was related to an app download by 57 Italians, by which data was gathered on 214,077 Italian users without their consent. FB said it is committed to privacy.
