(UTV|COLOMBO) – Facebook has suspended a US-based analytics firm while it investigates concerns about the collection and sharing of user data.
Crimson Hexagon, based in Boston, describes itself as offering “consumer insights” and has contracts with government agencies around the world.
Facebook said it was looking into whether some of these deals were in violation of its policies on surveillance.
The network said it had not found any evidence so far that data had been improperly obtained.
