Case Study: Facebook Faces Fresh Probe After Photo Leak

2-11. Who are Facebook's stakeholders? What are the social responsibilities of the

company? To what level of CSR or CSV is the company adhering at the time of this case?

Facebook comprises internal and external stakeholders. The internal stakeholders are

individuals involved in the institution's running and general operation, including the management

team, board of directors, shareholders, and working employees. External shareholders are people

that influence the institution but are not involved in the inner working of the institution. They

include; government, users, and suppliers. At the time of this case proceedings, Facebook's

primary social responsibility was to ensure user privacy and data confidently. Thus, Facebook

conducts its activities ethically by upholding Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). However,

at the time of the case, FB was lowly adhering to CSR.

2-12. No doubt, much will have transpired since the writing of this case regarding

Facebook's privacy challenges. Research and compile an update. What other privacy issues

have arisen in Europe, in the United States, and around the world? What has Mark

Zuckerberg done about it to placate the public and preserve the brand?

Indeed, much has occurred since the case regarding how Facebook responds to privacy

issues, as explained by Bradshaw (2018). The company continues to face numerous instances of

data breaches. In the recent past, Facebook faced a case of selling user information. Soon after, it

was discovered that information belonging to millions of Facebook users was collected with

Cambridge Analytica's consent. Facebook used its subscribers' profiles and invaded their private

data. Mark Zuckerberg has made tremendous efforts to preserve and protect the brand.

Zuckerberg took a step to ask Cambridge Analytica to delete the user data. In 2014, Zuckerberg

also changed Facebook's security policy, saying that the organization would ensure a complete

investigation of applications with user information access. The policy aims to revoke developers'

access to user data whose applications have not been used in three months (Guynn, 2022).

Through such actions, Zuckerberg has enhanced Facebook users' information at least.

2-13. What is your personal opinion about the problems of privacy from using Facebook?

In my time of using Facebook, the institution still has cases to answer and should engage

in better management across borders. This is because the application keeps interfering with a

person's private data despite the security and protection measures set. Facebook has various data

breach violations to answer. The organization is also said to leak users' shared photos, as

explained by Bradshaw (2018). In my experience, Facebook users should be concerned about

their data privacy. Not long ago, I encountered a case where a person successfully gained access

to my Facebook page and changed my primary email. Users should be alert and conscious of

shared page credentials and data. Besides, it is accurate that engaging in the global environment

through practical organizational, interpersonal, and strategic skills will help the company uphold

required business ethics and maintain discipline in reserving users' information (Deresky,

Stewart, and Miller, 2020).

2-14. What regulations or restrictions for Facebook have been put in place in Europe and

the United States? Do you agree with them?

Facebook has set up regulations aimed at solving the issue of privacy. In Europe, the Irish

Data Protection Commission initiated investigations on Facebook to ensure no user is data

without consent. It is also required that Facebook complies and adheres to the EU's General Data

Protection Regulation (GDPR). Europe and the United States take note of GDPR meant to

protect users from any cases of privacy breaches (Bradshaw, 2018). I am afraid I have to disagree

with these regulations since data breaches continue to exist despite their existence. Thus, I cannot

entirely agree with the regulations since privacy continues to be a significant issue in using

Facebook.
