IT seems that the Cambridge Analytica event is not the only scandal that Facebook will face. A report issued by the New York Times revealed that Facebook had given more than 150 companies - including Netflix and Spotify - access to personal data and their personal messages for years.
According to the report, Facebook also allows companies to see "streams" of user messages from certain users regardless of their privacy settings. In addition, Amazon has been given permission to access multiple usernames and contact information through their friends without consent.
After the report was published in the New York Times, Facebook responded a few hours later that day, saying the messaging program was limited to four partners (Spotify, Netflix, Dropbox and Royal Bank of Canada) to "integrate messaging capabilities" into their applications , Explicit activation of users, who use Facebook to get resources.
"People can send messages to friends about what they listen to on Spotify or see Netflix, share folders on Dropbox, or receive receipts for money transfers through the Royal Bank of Canada application, which has been discussed publicly." Read blog posts by Ime Archibong, vice president of product partnerships for Facebook.
This is done through API and Facebook integration which means this is an experimental partnership that has been closed for almost three years. The response, however, is real, because Facebook has repeatedly become unclear or less transparent about how they handle user data.
A spokesperson for Netflix contacted TechSpot with the following statement: "Over the years we have tried several ways to make Netflix more social, for example a feature launched in 2014 that allows users to recommend TV and movies to your friends on Facebook using Messenger or Netflix, it's never been so popular, Then we completed the feature in 2015. We can't access people's private messages on Facebook, or request the ability to do so. "
For more details, Facebook does not seem to sell someone's data. According to the accuracy of the New York Times speculation, the technology giant is more likely to share data with other companies to "promote their interests", without money actually changing hands.
Speaking of money, unfortunately for Facebook investors, this PR nightmare has a very negative (negative) impact on company profits. Facebook fell 7.3% after the latest wave of negative advertisements, with a decline of almost 35% from its historic peak in July 2018.
We will provide you with the latest information when new information comes out. For now, one thing is clear: The biggest social media platform in the US is a bad year.***
