> CA asked for data and user said yes
I think a lot of people are forgetting that you were also able to get tons of data on a user's friends, just from that user accepting. No consent on the friends part. If you and I were FB friends and I accepted one of those requests, CA now also knows your profile info and likes.
- coding123 6y agoWhat you said. I was starting to read the like 100 comments about how people clicked yes and so be it, but the entire time I was thinking, wait, no, that's not what happened. It's what you just said. Amazing how a little time leads to revisionist history for these people defending facebook.
