But having a go at Zoom on this ground is unfair, given many developers do the exact same thing.
- jacobwilliamroy 7y agoLets have a go at those other developers too, then.
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoHow does that make it better? Does FB not commingle the data? And no, others doing the same doesn't make this better, it makes them all bad.
- cuspycode 7y agoSo maybe it's unfair, but unfair is perfectly OK in this kind of situation. The important thing is to call it out and make it stop, even if this has to be done for one perpetrator at a time.
- ilikehurdles 7y agoAnalytics that fingerprints a device, figerprints that facebook can then use to build shadow profiles of people not consenting to have their data processed and stored by facebook.
- ncr100 7y agoBecause Facebook could figure out WHO YOU ARE TALKING WITH. If you're talking with someone "sensitive", Facebook will know. Perhaps FB needs to use heuristics to join Caller A with Caller B based upon timestamps, etc. But ZOOM is a messaging app and the IMPLICATION is that FB will know some EXTRA DETAIL about my private life: the other people in it. It's not like this is CANDY CRUSH - duh that's just some game. This is ZOOM, a face-to-face communications app. Much more serious. Apple should flag this for its users on the App Store.
