Facebook launches Data Abuse Bounty program
In response to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Facebook has launched a Data Abuse Bounty program in order to incentivize users to report app developers that misuse data. According to the company, the program was inspired by the existing bug bounty program that is used to find security vulnerabilities.
Facebook will be reviewing each report and if it confirms abuse, will shut down the app and take legal action against the company buying or selling the data. It will also notify those who may be affected and reward the person who discovered the data abuse.
The reward will be based upon the impact of the discovery. Facebook has stated that there is no maximum reward, but some high impact reports have resulted in $40,000 rewards.
