Facebook: Most Profiles Likely Scraped by Third Parties

Facebook is taking steps to restrict the amount of information accessible to outside parties. The social media company announced this week that most of its 2 billion users could have been accessed without their consent. Facebook also reports the data of about 87 million people was taken by Cambridge Analytica without users’ consent. The changes will affect Facebook’s Events API, Groups API, Pages API, Facebook Login, Instagram Platform API, Call and Text History, Data Providers and Partner Categories, and App Controls. Starting April 4, 2018, Facebook will need to approve all apps requesting access to data like photos, posts, check-ins, events, and groups.”]
