Facebook Shared Your Data With Phone Makers - mothered - 06-05-2018
Greetings everyone,
Facebook has been (and still Is), under Immense pressure over It's data disclosure and the following report just adds to Mr Zuckerberg's sleepless nights.
The equation Is quite simple- do not use Facebook or any platform to share your personal Information, or part thereof.
Period.
Quote:Facebook has been hit with another data-sharing scandal, again over the access that it gives or gave third parties to the data not only of its users, but also of their friends.
According to a New York Times report, the social network has been sharing way too much data with mobile device manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung, BlackBerry and Amazon—to an extent that could constitute a violation of Facebook’s 2011 privacy deal with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC.)
Privacy advocates always thought this was a bad idea, and in 2015 Facebook (FB, -0.44%) changed its policies to cut off this access—the Cambridge Analytica data-scraping took place in 2014.
However, it now seems Facebook did not cut off this access for everyone, so millions of people’s data was—and indeed is—still being shared without their knowledge.
Many makers of phones and tablets allow people to use Facebook without actually opening the Facebook app, by integrating some of its functionality into their own software. This means that the software of companies including Apple, Amazon, Samsung, Microsoft and BlackBerry gets to plug into Facebook’s systems and access data that does not belong to the specific person who’s using that software.

It's the article that's documented the matter.

Facebook always collects more data than you allow them to do so.
They will create a profile with a collection of data that Facebook has collected about you that you didn’t provide yourself. In other words, let’s say you’re a facebook user, and you limit what information you put online. While you may not have listed your cell phone number, if one of your connections used the “Find My Friends” feature and allowed Facebook to scan their contacts, Facebook collected all the other information about you associated with that contact.
Delete it while you can.

Very well put.
Facebook Is all about data collection to help Improve It's services, Including It's sharing functionality, but this comes at a cost to It's account holders. Whilst you may limit your exposure on Facebook, any associated contacts and/or entities (third-party or otherwise) may not do the same. From It's Initial launch under the domain name of thefacebook.com In 2004, I've never been Interested In their platform.
