Facebooks skræmmende metoder: Sådan snager de i dine data
Facebook sporer dig på måder, du slet ikke havde forestillet dig. I et svar til den amerikanske Kongres redegør Facebook for alle de ting de holder øje med, når man bruger Facebook.

Ud over, at holde øje med hvor meget tid man bruger på sitet, eller hvilke ting man køber gennem Facebook, holder de også øje med en række mindre åbenlyse ting.
Facebook holder øje med, om Facebook-vinduet er i fokus, også for at vurdere om du er et menneske
Facebook samler store mængder data om din enhed, så som batteriniveau, signalstyrke og lagerplads
Facebook undersøger hvilket mobilselskab du har, din internetudbyder, din IP-adresse, informationer om dine cookies, tidszone og hvor hurtigt dit internet er.
Nogle gange overvåger Facebook hvilke andre enheder, der er på samme netværk
Signaler fra omkringliggende wifi-netværk, mobilmaster og BlueTooth-enheder overvåges også af Facebook
Facebook har adgang til din GPS-position, kameradata og billeder, hvis ikke indstillingerne er sat til at forhindre det. Det er måske en af de mest opsigtsvækkende adgange, som Facebook har. I dokumentet beskrives det sådan: Data from device settings: information a user allows us to receive through device settings they turn on, such as access to their GPS location, camera, or photos.
Facebook samler også data om hvad du laver online og offline, og hvad du køber fra tredje parter, inklusive din brug af spil og andre apps

41.000 danskere har fået lænset Facebook-oplysninger: Med dette værktøj kan du se, om du eller dine venner er ramt
Facebook rydder op i sit rod. Nu kan brugerne selv undersøge hvorvidt de er berørt af dataskandalen.
En god portion af Facebooks brugere har i mandags fået besked fra selskabet om, at deres personlige data kan være blevet misbrugt til politiske formål af det udskældte analyseinstitut Cambridge Analytica.
Blandt det sociale medies 2,2 milliarder brugere, mistænkes det at op mod 87 millioner er ramt at informationslækket.
Herhjemme har Ritzau tidligere oplyst, at 41.820 danske Facebook-konti kan have indgået i Cambridge Analyticas storstilede dataindsamling.
Vil du vide, hvorvidt din – eller dine venners – Facebook-konto, er berørt af lækket, stiller Facebook nu et værktøj til rådighed, som ud fra din historik og kontaktliste kan vurdere, hvorvidt dine data er blevet kompromitterede.
Ud fra din profil vil selskabet vurdere omfanget af datalækagen. Er du eller dine kontakter berørt, vil der få en rapport over hvilken type oplysninger, der er kompromitterede.
Den verserende skandale trækker rødder tilbage til 2014, hvor quizz-applikationen ’This Is Your Digital Life’ høstede oplysninger om deltagerne samt deres kontakter.
Ifølge Facebooks besked til de ramte brugere, rummer lækagen i værste tilfælde oplysninger om nyhedsfeed, tidslinje, opslag samt beskeder delt igennem den sociale platform.
Facebook-værktøjet vurderer kun, hvorvidt datalæk stammer fra den omstridte app. Facebook indførte først opstramninger i mediets datapolitik i løbet af 2015.
