Fb Is Forcing You To Talk To Your Friends On Its Terms
Since Facebook made its chat service available as a standalone app over one billion users have downloaded it. In doing so, they've unwittingly granted Facebook nearly unlimited access to their entire mobile device.
Among the revelations: Facebook Messenger can read personal information stored on your device, access your contacts and the frequency with which you communicate with them, monitor your call log, and record audio and video from your phone.
That's a lot of access!
Our general cluelessness is about what we're agreeing to when we download the app.
If we're going to take control of our online identities, we share a collective responsibility to educate ourselves about what information we're sharing with who, don't we?
