Following the data misuse scandal, Facebook has been making several changes to its platform. The company yesterday posted another blog post detailing what are the changes it has made to how it manages user data.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’d know about the recent data scandal that shook Facebook. It all started when the company’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted to the allegations of Facebook sharing user data with British consultancy firm Cambridge Analytica. Little did Zuckerberg know, it was only the start and it was all downhill from there.
Following Zuckerberg’s statement, reports started pouring in accusing his company of breaching user trust, and invading privacy. Ironically, the co-founder of WhatsApp (currently owned by Facebook) posted a tweet with the trending hashtag #DeleteFacebook. Apple’s CEO Tim Cook also didn’t miss the opportunity to take a dig at the social network giant.
Leaving aside everything, users were certainly not happy with the fact that Facebook keeps a track on every call and text they send. In fact, Zuckerberg in an interview disclosed that the social media platform can detect the content of « private message ». Shocking right? If we were to do a bizarre comparison, Facebook reminds us of the biblical quote « God watches everything we do ». The only problem? Facebook is not God.
We can juts guess how are the things inside the headquarters of Facebook, but the company has been making many changes to its platform. From making the settings menu more organized to restricting third-party access to user data, Zuckerberg is trying his best to save his company’s damaged reputation.
Well, Facebook again published a blog yesterday detailing what are the changes it has made to how it manages user data.
