Using Facebook’s personal data base for business or for political campaign purposes is “unacceptable” and must be prevented, prime ministers of the Visegrad countries agreed at a meeting in Brussels on Thursday.

Hungary’s Viktor Orbán said in a video published on his Facebook page after the meeting that such activities must be prevented “using the full weight of the law”. He added that the subject would be escalated to the upcoming European Union summit.

On Tuesday, the European Parliament called on Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg to clarify the recent scandal affecting tens of millions of Facebook users whose profiles are believed to have been misused to manipulate the latest presidential election in the United States.
