“I started Facebook, and at the end of the day I’m responsible for what happens on our platform” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted after days of the public and government officials waiting for him to speak up about the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
Zuckerberg laid out a slate of changes Facebook will make to prevent past and future abuses of user data by app developers. Those include blocking data access of apps you haven’t used for three months or more, auditing old apps that collected a lot of personal data, reducing the amount of data apps can pull using Facebook Login, requiring a signed contract from developers that want to pull your posts or private data, showing a tool atop the News Feed to help people repeal access to apps, and telling people if their data was misued.
We’ll have more details shortly.
