ANTISOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook “Whitelisted” Apps Got Access To Your Data And Activities — With Or Without Consent.

So who got the data? Companies like Netflix, Lyft, AirBNB and others, and it wasn’t just limited to specific users. The apps also got access to the data of friends of users, people who not only didn’t consent but also didn’t use those apps. This continued for whitelisted apps even after Facebook publicly declared it had stopped. “If people don’t feel comfortable using Facebook and specifically logging in Facebook and using Facebook in apps, we don’t have a platform, we don’t have developers,” a Facebook spokesperson said of the policy change at the time.

Yeah, Facebook management says a lot of things.
