- Cox Media fined after bragging it spied on users through their phones
Cox Media and two marketing firms, MindSift and 1010 Digital Works, were fined $930,000 by the Federal Trade Commission for falsely claiming they could spy on users through phones and smart devices to target ads. The companies promoted a system called Voice Data, but there was little evidence they actually engaged in surveillance.
