Facebook collected device data on 187,000 users using banned snooping app – TechCrunch

Facebook obtained personal and sensitive device data on about 187,000 users of its now-defunct Research app, which Apple banned earlier this year after the app violated its rules.

The social media giant said in a letter to Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s office — which TechCrunch obtained — that it collected data on 31,000 users in the U.S., including 4,300 teenagers. The rest of the collected data came from users in India.

Most media is out of control at this point. Imagine the View running our government. To some extent, they do.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER PRIVACY FIASCO AT FACEBOOK: What Did Zuckerberg Know and When Did He Know It?

Facebook is “worried” about emails which might link company founder/CEO Mark Zuckerberg to the company’s “questionable” privacy practices, according to a report on Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal. That’s a bit like saying my wife is “aware” that I’ve been seen enjoying the “occasional” martini, but we’ll get back to that in a moment. First, a few details from that WSJ story.

According to “people familiar with the matter,” as they say, “the unearthing of the emails in the process of responding to a continuing federal privacy investigation has raised concerns that they would be harmful to Facebook — at least from a public-relations standpoint.” Facebook has since 2012 been operating under a consent decree with the Federal Trade Commission regarding user privacy, but according to the WSJ’s unnamed sources, “Zuckerberg and other senior executives didn’t make compliance with the FTC order a priority.”

Ya think?​

Don't care since I refuse to have an account after a friend created an account eons ago and within a few days had a huge number of friend request from people he didn't know. I don't have time to mess with that.

Seriously?
You do understand data mining and what the consequences can be to people if their computer usage could be shared/purchased and given to the government or any other entity.
Personally, I would not be surprised that Facebook was "testing the waters" by doing this.
Period - M$ and Google know every single thing you do on your computer.
Right now, at least they tell us so, that the data is placed in aggregate anonymously and used for harmless reasons to "help them help us".
Via Facebook/twitter or anyother social media app that identifies WHO YOU ARE and not just a MAC address... then it is possible for the government an other entities to know everything YOU personally do on any computer/cell phone you use. And even locate you 24 hrs. a day.
All of that is 100% doable. Easily.

The "Black Mirror" series on Netflix has an episode this season set just a few years into the future.
A man kidnaps someone and drives into an area that, he thinks, they can't find him. He meticulously hid his tracks etc.
However, he had his cell phone with him.
Within no time the police knew who he was, where he was and a complete history on him. Photos/all of his social media posts etc.
Then the FBI calls the local police and they all listen to the conversation he is having with the kidnapee via his cellphone. As well as listen to calls he is making, and start locating friends/relatives of his and looking at their online profiles etc.
Naturally he is caught...well...actually shot dead.

This scenario is 100% possible right now. All that is waiting is for a government to pass a law saying they can do it. And you can bet your ass most governments are already testing it and quite possibly black ops already can do it.

this is what current data mining can do.

They do. Facebook buttons on websites track you, whether used or not. So do the bugs and trackers loaded on this board.
The sheer mass of data can only be evaluated by software and the only reasonable explanations for this effort are software improvement and monetarization. For example the trackers and bugs monitor your behavior across websites, process the gathered data and deliver ads accordingly. There is no human supervision unless necessary. In fact, they give a rats ass what we are doing.

Until they do.

That is the problem with today's social media companies - they actually are caring what you do because they see themselves as moral arbiters that both can and NEED to control public discourse. As tech and AI improves, this will become a larger political problem.

No, the "Black Mirror" is a TV show – it’s fiction, which means it’s not real.

Actually not.

Only government can pose a threat to or freedom and liberty, not private entities such as social media sites.

The concepts of freedom and liberty concern solely the relationship between government and those governed.

They are only interested in general behavior, not in your personal. It is all about coin and maybe the creators are just nerds who have fun. "Jew Zuckerberg" could easily use his householder rights to remove any person or page from Facebook.
