While Censoring Voices, Facebook Let Big Tech Companies Read & Delete Private Messages

 

While in the middle of a full-blown censorship scandal and other issues, Facebook has been caught allowing Big Tech companies the ability to read your private messages sent via the social media platform. Private messages and personal data were given to companies such as Netflix, and Spotify.

 

This raises even more concerns about Facebook. The โ€œintrusive accessโ€ to the personal data of its 2.2 billion users may have violated an agreement Facebook previously made. In some instances, private messages, usernames, and contact information were given to other companies raising questions about whether the social media company ran afoul of a 2011 consent agreement with the Federal Trade Commission, reported Fox News.

 

The arrangements are detailed in a blockbuster New York Times report which is based on over 270 pages of internal Facebook documents and interviews with about 50 former company employees. These secretive arrangements were ostensibly meant to benefit Facebookโ€™s never-ending push for growth and enable the companies it works with to add features to their products to improve them. However, the findings underscore just how much power the Menlo Park, California-based company wields over the data of its users.
