Facebook struck deals over data and burnt rivals, show internal emails

Hindustan Times  

Internal emails from Facebook, including some from CEO Mark Zuckerberg, have led British lawmakers to conclude that the social media giant had deals with third party apps that continued to allow access to personal data of users. A British parliamentary panel released a cache of Facebook emails revealing sharing of user data An influential UK parliamentary committee looking into fake news released on Wednesday a cache of internal documents between Zuckerberg and employees, highlighting what its chairman called “key issues”. Damian Collins, chair of the culture, media, sports and digital committee, wrote in an introductory note: “Facebook have clearly entered into whitelisting agreements with certain companies, which meant that after the platform changes in 2014/15 they maintained full access to friends data.” Read: I have no plan to step down, says Zuckerberg He added, “It is not clear that there was any user consent for this, nor how Facebook decided which companies should be whitelisted or not.” The documents suggest Facebook was aware that an update to its Android app that let it collect records of users’ calls and texts would be controversial. Read: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg hopes to work with Sheryl Sandberg for ‘decades’ The documents also suggest Facebook used data provided by Israeli analytics firm Onavo to determine which mobile apps were being downloaded and used by the public. “But the facts are clear: We’ve never sold people’s data.” Read: Facebook’s outgoing policy boss takes the fall for hiring controversial PR firm
