Ok. We have a huge, detail-free set of accusations here, in a high-profile newspaper blogspam whose source link doesn't link to an actual story, only to the home page of the publication it's referencing.
We're going to need a lot more here.
- alexobenauer 15y agoThat's exactly what I thought. Especially, too, since you cannot do this on iOS with public API's (and I assume even with private, but I could be wrong). Even if you did find a loophole, Apple wouldn't allow it, and they'd close it. And even on Android, don't you have to enable an app's access to your SMS messages? This article had no details. It was way too short for the accusations made.
- veyron 15y agoWhat we need to see is proof that somehow the contents of the text message is sent back to facebook. There are tools like mitmproxy to see the traffic. Couldn't someone with a facebook account using the app explicitly check whether or not the contents of the messages are relayed back?
- kenrikm 15y agoExactly, This reminds me of the whole Tesla battery bricking saga. The News outlets love nothing more than to find some technology company that is doing something "wrong" (even if they are not) and hang them out to dry without doing ANY fact checking. It seems many news organizations have stooped to the level of celebrity gossip magazines. I want to see proof of texts being sent back to Facebook or it did not happen.
