I assume this is other apps using FBs analytics toolset? Where I can send a custom event with {email:dillondoyle@gmail.com, data: {likes_dogs: 1, likes_cats: 0}

I assume this is other apps using FBs analytics toolset? Where I can send a custom event with {email:dillondoyle@gmail.com, data: {likes_dogs: 1, likes_cats: 0}} or what they are mad about is {weight: 120, has_hiv:0} ?
IDK seems silly to me or maybe I'm in too deep and can't see the forest for the trees.
- atestu 8y agoI agree. It seems weird to go after the place that stores the data rather than those who collect it and send it over (the apps).

- alex_chang 8y agoYup. Next story that's going to come out is how Google is "doing the same thing" via Google Analytics etc.
- detaro 8y agoDoesn't Google Analytics forbid passing actual personal user data into it? I thought that's how they solved the GDPR compliance issues, by explicitly declaring it as not fit for personal data (outside what GA collects and anonymizes itself, like IPs).
- bduerst 8y agoYes, their TOS specifically prohibits this: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2795983 https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2795983
- kekebo 8y agoif this is related to the Facebook Mobile SDK it seems that it is sending a lot of data home by default and that setting it up for ethical data collection isn't straightforward for most developers[0] [0] at least for android, based on this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0vlD7r-kTc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0vlD7r-kTc (35C3 - How Facebook tracks you on Android) edit: add video title
