Facebook blocks UK insurer from profiling users for discounts

When you're a first-time driver, getting a reasonable car insurance quote can be a tricky affair. Age and inexperience on the road result in higher premiums, which only come down after you've proven you're not a danger to yourself or others for a number of years. Some insurance providers have offered ways to bring costs down by asking customers to drive with a companion app but one UK company, Admiral, decided to take the unusual step of tapping into car owners' Facebook accounts to assess their personality and decide whether they deserve a discount. At least that was the plan.
