Facebook Is Shutting Down Its API For Giving Your Friends’ Data To Apps | Privacy | BIG DATA

Facebook Is Shutting Down Its API For Giving Your Friends’ Data To Apps | Privacy | BIG DATA | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it
From techcrunch.com - May 2, 2015 10:48 AM

It was always kind of shady that Facebook let you volunteer your friends' status updates, check-ins, location, interests and more to third-party apps. 


Overall, the changes could boost confidence in Facebook’s platform and the social network itself, which has struggled in the past with a reputation for spotty privacy. Cross says the conversion rate on people logging in with Facebook has increased 11 percent and believes this means “More people feel comfortable logging in with Facebook.”

Zuckerberg’s response to Cambridge scandal omits why it delayed investigating | #SocialMedia #Naivety #NobodyIsPerfect #ProactiveTHINKing  | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it
From techcrunch.com - March 21, 2018 4:39 PM

I started Facebook, and at the end of the day I’m responsible for what happens on our platform” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted after days of the public and government officials waiting for him to speak up about the Cambridge Analytica scandal since it broke Friday. “We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can’t then we don’t deserve to serve you.”

Zuckerberg laid out a slate of changes Facebook will make to prevent past and future abuses of user data by app developers. Those include:

Blocking data access of apps you haven’t used for three months or more


Auditing old apps that collected a lot of personal data
Reducing the amount of data apps can pull using Facebook Login without an additional permissions screen to just your name, profile photo, and email address


Requiring a signed contract from developers that want to pull your posts or private information


Surfacing Facebook’s privacy third-party app privacy settings tool atop the News Feed to help people repeal access to apps


Telling people if their data was misued by the app associated with Cambridge Analytica, or apps Facebook bans for misue in the future.


What’s missing from this response is any indication why Facebook didn’t do more to enforce its policy prohibiting apps from sharing user data, or why it took Cambridge Analytica at their word when they said they deleted the data without proper investigation.
