Wait. What's weird is that they already closed the vector that CA used three years ago when this was first reported. From the NYT interview from earlier this week, what FB is working on now is a feature that'll let you see what apps may have been able to see your data through a friend. I'm curious what else they're going to do.
I wonder if Zuck's gonna be like "Fuck it, no more apps. Fuck apps. No one can see your data but us and we're going to lock it down 100%."
- praisewhitey 9y agoCan anyone who regularly uses Facebook comment on what possible negative outcomes would come out of them shutting down apps or APIs that export your data?
- Haydos585x2 9y agoI wonder if we'll end up with some solution that works for interested people but no one else. Another settings cog saying "Share this post with friends and friend apps". I think they like apps because they make sure people stay on Facebook and any extra data they can gather. Maybe they'll kill them all and come back with a rebranded version in 6 months.
- erichurkman 9y agoA ton of their data is going to come from apps and third party sites embedding scripts from Facebook. Hell, even social auth gives them a _ton_ of data. ("Oh, you recently used Facebook to sign into weddingplanner.com? Here come the wedding ads... and the related ads to all of your friends.")
