As many as 260 contract workers in Hyderabad, India manually labelled photos by subject or occasion to help the social media giant understand how people use its platform. Workers get insight into users’ lives as they view vacation photos or posts remembering deceased family members, which could raise privacy concerns, according to legal experts interviewed by Reuters.

Talking point: Facebook, which has said it’s open to more federal oversight, is now under intense scrutiny as it negotiates a potential multibillion-dollar settlement with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission as part of an ongoing probe from the Commision into Facebook’s privacy practices. Its practices in Hyderabad, meanwhile, could get it in more trouble abroad, as the EU’s GDPR legislation has strict guidelines about getting user consent for data collection, which applies to companies that provide services that target EU residents. However, Reuters notes that it’s not clear how GDPR will be interpreted in this case. During its F8 Developer conference in late April, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said user privacy would be a focus on new features it plans to roll out.
