Last several weeks we heard about Facebook Data Breach and #deleteFacebook trends with Cambridge Analytica but what is the reality about it? It shocks you..! believe us. The Smart Innovator brings the concrete facts about this scenario.
Cambridge Analytica uses Facebook platform to build a user base for its app. At that time Facebook gives more specific permission of data access to its Developer to provide better user experience to relevant users of Developer apps.
But obviously, The researcher of Cambridge Analytica abuses the platform freedom and allegedly sold the data to third parties that break the initial purpose of Facebook.
However Facebook on its updating of regular policies and Terms of Use it restricted the Developer permission modal for their apps, Now they have to submit their apps for review if the app required more than basic permissions.
But Since the data collection is already done before 2014 or app running before this restrictions so it ran away from scrutiny But the good news is the apps now scrutinize for their malicious intent.
It means app after the year 2014 is more safer than before but doesn’t mean any app developer can sell the data of its users. User to its related users i.e. Friends of Friends data now can’t be accessible through by any means without particular third user that information to be accessed. That means if you opt-in for any service regarding Facebook apps you can choose in permission which you want to give or not, It’s plain simple.
The app developer has to maintain its user experience without the permission or give the specifics reason to convince the user that make users to take the decision whether they should go with it or Not.
