Google, Facebook business models threat to rights: Amnesty report

Amnesty International says in a report that the data-collection business models used by Facebook and Google "threaten human rights"

The data-collection business model fueling Facebook and Google represents a threat to human rights around the world, Amnesty International said in a report Wednesday.

The organization argued that offering people free online services and then using information about them to target money-making ads imperils a gamut of rights including freedom of opinion and expression.
