Facebook pays to monitor you and access your secrets!

In the biggest secrecy, Facebook has paid people from 13 to 35 years to scrutinize their habits on their mobiles! An Orwellian scenario.

Since 2016, the Facebook company paid mobile users to draw conclusions from their online habits and behaviors. To do this, these volunteer guinea pigs had to download a ” Facebook Research ” application and subscribe to a specific program. These people were so paid $ 20 a month to send to Facebook very different personal data: location, SMS, online search, history of visited sites, online shopping, etc . The miners were recruited via Snapchat and Instagramto enter the program (which did not mention Facebook in the first place) and absolutely had to have parental permission, but let’s be realistic: were the parents aware of what was really happening?

The Techcrunch site , which unveiled the pot to the roses, questioned the social network about it. Facebook has of course forbidden to spy on anyone because it was a paid program with people willing. But as Facebook and respect for life are two, facing this bad publicity, the social network announced delete this program on iOS (because contrary to the conditions of use), but he said nothing about Android …Remember that this system is ultra-majority on mobile devices and that if Facebook has said nothing about “Facebook Research” on this support is that it will continue … And you how much are you ready to accept for Facebook to look at everything what do you do online?
