From a report at the link below:
Mark Zuckerberg has spent the past few years pinky swearing that Facebook wouldn’t do exactly what The New York Times discovered that Facebook has been doing: sharing data about users and their friends with third-party device makers without users’ knowledge.
The Times reported on Monday that a partnership agreement Facebook struck with mobile device makers like Apple, Samsung, and BlackBerry allowed them to access private data about Facebook users’ friends.
In one experiment carried out by the paper, a Blackberry device was able to pull information about 295,000 people tangentially connected to a Times reporter’s on the social media app.
The revelation runs counter to the promises that CEO Mark Zuckerberg has given Facebook customers for years—that Facebook users have complete transparency and control over who sees their data.
So when can we trust the words of Mark Zuckerberg? Answer: when he is not talking.
