Question:

State the nature of the ethical issue you’ve spotted.

One of the ethical issues that can be spotted in the case of Facebook is the company's failure to protect
the personal data of its users. In particular, the Cambridge Analytica scandal revealed that Facebook
allowed a third-party app to harvest data from millions of its users without their consent, which was
then used for political advertising purposes. This raised concerns about privacy violations and
highlighted the need for better data protection measures on the part of Facebook. Additionally, there
were reports of the company's involvement in spreading misinformation and fake news during the 2016
US presidential election, which also raised ethical concerns. The nature of the ethical issue in this case is
the responsibility of a company to ensure the protection of personal data and prevent the spread of
misinformation.
