Woman Sues Instagram (Owned By Facebook) For Spying On Users Through iPhone Camera
[Lifesite News] The lawsuit claims that Instagram has been able to 'monitor users' most intimate moments,' in the 'privacy of their own homes'.Social media giant Facebook is being sued by a New Jersey resident who claims Instagram is spying on its users with iPhones by accessing the phone’s camera without approval, to collect “extremely private and intimate personal data on their users.” "Instagram is constantly accessing users' smartphone camera feature while the app is open and monitors users without permission," claims New Jersey Instagram user Brittany Conditi in her Conditi v. Instagram case. Conditi filed the lawsuit against Facebook, which owns the photo-sharing app Instagram, in a federal court in San Francisco last Thursday. The lawsuit claims that Instagram has been able to “monitor users' most intimate moments,” in the “privacy of their own homes.” According to a Bloomberg report from last week, the lawsuit against Facebook came about from media reports in July that the popular photo-sharing app was accessing people’s phone cameras, even when they were not in use.
