We continue to talk through detailed articles about the Facebook crisis, which began since the 2016 US presidential election and has reached its peak now and may destroy the world's largest social network.
On Sunday, Facebook published a funded advertisement for a page in 9 major newspapers in the United States and Britain.
The publication of newspapers such as NYT, WSJ, WashPost came to confirm through Mark Zuckerberg's apologies for the Cambridge Analytica scandal and privacy violations.
A few hours after the apology until the response was clear: this is another scandal and an insult to Android users exactly.
Mark Zuckerberg apologizes in detail
We continue to talk through detailed articles about the Facebook crisis, which began since the 2016 US presidential election and has reached its peak now and may destroy the world's largest social network.
On Sunday, Facebook published a funded advertisement for a page in 9 major newspapers in the United States and Britain.
The publication of newspapers such as NYT, WSJ, WashPost came to confirm through Mark Zuckerberg's apologies for the Cambridge Analytica scandal and privacy violations.
Followed by a text that included facts such as an application by a university researcher that leaked millions of users' data in 2014.
"This is a betrayal of honesty and I apologize that we did not do much more at the time," he said, vowing to protect user data and prevent similar events from recurring.
The response of the crisis was quick ... another scandal
While the comments on Facebook founder's apology are different, most of them are cynical about the move, and the founder's words are a lie.
The response to the crisis came in the form of news circulated in the British and American newspapers first and the rest of the world media reported that Facebook spies on phone calls on Android phones.
An insult to Android users
The data collected by Facebook appears in the user's information log, which can be uploaded at any time in the account and normally provided by users before deleting their accounts.
Among the downloaded data there is a record since Facebook applications were used on users' phones, including the duration of phone calls, their dates, connected phone numbers, canceled calls, and SMS messages exchanged by users.
The data technology sites explained that Facebook Messenger is the one who collects it, which usually requires users to access contacts and call records, and when it gets used to the data in suggesting people who may want to add them to friends on Facebook.
But the explanation is not convincing, and opens the door to serious questions and confirm the doubts we have always had, does Facebook listen to phone calls? What does he want from the data he collects? What about SMS text messages?
As someone who is very familiar with the world of advertising, collecting user data and using relevant ads, I assure that logging in and outbound phone calls, saving and tracking text messages has nothing to do with serving users relevant ads.
So the company has undeclared goals. The Cambridge Analytica scandal has shown that it seeks to use data to manipulate elections in countries, to block democracy and for despicable political purposes such as igniting civil wars.
Political consulting firms are willing to pay millions of dollars for these sensitive data Facebook collects and will help in many things.
If you feel my posts are undervalued or you want to donate to tip me - I would appreciate it very much.
