Earlier, without using Facebook users, millions of customer information was used for their commercial needs, political consultancy firm Cambridge Analyktica.
But Facebook says that, until now, they have not found any evidence that they have been collecting information unknowingly.
Meanwhile, according to the Wall Street Journal, customers of Crimea Hexagon are non-profit organizations in Russia, who have a relation with various agencies of the Kremlin and US government.
For them, Facebook's data analyzed by Crimson Hexagon. In March 2007, Facebook blocked its users' information from any country's government by not monitoring them.
At that time, various human rights groups expressed concerns and pressed Facebook to do this. Because they thought it would be targeted by protesters on various issues.
A Facebook spokesman said that we will not allow developers to create surveillance devices using Facebook and Instagram data.
He also said that we have taken the complaint seriously against the organization and we have canceled their app during investigation.
