Affirmative Consent

The Federal Trade Commission has created principles that dictate website operators to get affirmative express consent before using customer data, especially if it is sensitive. The principle also states that consent should be given before data is used in a different way than was initially stated in the terms of service.

What cannot be found is what statutes the FTC or the FCC have on third-party apps taking data in the way that Cambridge Analytica did, if any of them. Facebook has come out and stated that Cambridge Analytica violated their Terms of Service, but they have yet to offer a reason as to why it was allowed and how it slipped through their security teams.
