    Question Explanation of an extract from the DailyMail

    Hello,

    Would you please tell if my explanation of the below extract is correct?


    ''Last year three Democratic senators requested that the FTC look at Facebook's information-sharing policies.
    Apps like Farmville and Causes also shared users' information with advertising and tracking companies, according to the Wall Street Journal'' Dailymail



    The three Democratic senators wanted to direct the attention of the Federal Trade Commission towards facebook, because they think that it touches the consumer protection.

    Thank you

    They want the FTC to see whether Facebook's policies on sharing information are OK. If apps are sharing personal information with advertisers and trackers, this might be a breach of the laws and regulations covering data.
