Facebook has found itself in the middle of another controversy as it faces a lawsuit for allegedly keeping an eye on Instagram users via their phone cameras.

The case follows reports in July, alleging that Instagram was able to access cameras in iPhones even when not in use. This was denied by Facebook, which in turn pinned it on a bug in the app that led to false notifications being received by users.
