Questions around Facebook’s distasteful policies don’t seem to be ending anytime soon as the company’s internal documents, expected to be made public soon, will reveal how it made profits from accidental purchases on the platform.
The previously-sealed documents that are being made public as part of a 2012 lawsuit will shed light on how Facebook denied refunds to parent’s whose kids unknowingly spent hundreds or even thousands of bucks via their credit cards stored on the platform.
Facebook not only failed to send the parents a receipt to clear any confusion on how their money was being spent on games, but some of its employees also referred to kids as ‘whales,’ a common terms for reckless spenders in casinos.
