 Facebook Inc said on  Friday it has suspended tens of thousands of apps on the social  networking platform, as part of the company’s ongoing app developer  investigation it began in March 2018 in response to the Cambridge  Analytica row.The suspended apps are  associated with about 400 developers, Facebook said, adding that it is  not necessarily an indication that these apps were posing a threat to  users. Earlier this year, the company agreed to pay a record-breaking $5  billion fine to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to resolve a  government probe into its privacy practices, Reuters reported. The FTC privacy probe was triggered last year by allegations that  Facebook violated a 2012 consent decree and inappropriately shared  information of 87 million users with British political consulting firm  Cambridge Analytica.
