An update of Facebook’s Android app seeks permission to read people`s private messages to allegedly connect phone numbers with accounts. Facebook began rolling out its Android app update at the end of 2013 when users complained the new permissions are intrusive and unnecessary. Other permissions allow the Android app to download files without notification, read and write contacts, read calendar events plus confidential information and even send e-mails to guests without users’ knowledge. Users also protested when the social media company removed the ability to remain anonymous in searches over the network last year.”]
