Facebook known to be applying continuous force from privacy activists again. This was subsequent to revealing a new policy that could turn users' data and pictures into advertising.  According to a letter this week to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) by six privacy organisations, the  new plan would become sensational in expanding the use of personal information for advertising purposes. The letter explained the changes violate a 2011 consent order accompanying the US watchdog agency as well as impelled with force the FTC to act to impose its order.

It was also brought into prominence that if the transformation take effect, the letter expressed, Facebook users who logically had confidence in the truth that their images and content would not be used for commercial purposes without their consent will now find their pictures showing up on the pages of their friends approving the products of Facebook's advertisers.

At the concluding phase, the letter from the Electronic Privacy Information Centre, Centre for Digital Democracy, Consumer Watchdog and three other groups known to have added that wonderfully, their images could even be used by Facebook to approve products that the user dislikes neither they use.
