This is the sort of user information that I am much more interested in defending from overreach (developer misuse, knowingly or unknowingly) vs. activity which actually goes on as a user accesses any fb-owned domain (or within fb's apps) Of course, there is the stock reply about half way through the article from app Move's owner, Realtor.com: >“we strictly adhere to all local, state and federal requirements,” and that its privacy policy “clearly states how user information is collected and shared.” The policy says the app collects a variety of information, including content in which users are interested, and may share it with third parties. It doesn’t mention Facebook. Fortunately, there has been recognition and action taken against the collection/usage of this sort of third-party information, albeit in Germany.[0] >There is currently no way to stop the company from collecting the information in the first place, or using it for other purposes, such as detecting fake accounts. Germany’s top antitrust enforcer earlier this month ordered Facebook to stop using that data at all without permission, a ruling Facebook is appealing.
