Facebook is reportedly continuing to monitor all applications on its platform, conducting in-depth checks on all suspicious activity. If the company detects developers who have misused identifiers, it blocks them immediately from the platform.
As we mentioned in an earlier post to Facebook, it also allows you to edit all privacy settings in the apps and games you use.
Of course, she needed her scandal first Cambridge Analytica to mobilize the largest social network. The results should be clear to all if Facebook wants to regain the trust of the platform's users.
But let's look at what Facebook has done so far to protect the privacy of its members.
The following is the publication of the social network, starting with the data leakage page:
From the new page Facebook Help to see if your details were shared with Cambridge Analytica from the application “This Is Your Digital Life".

- We will notify you if you abuse your data from an application. From now on, if we remove any app due to data abuse, we will notify everyone about it users της συγκεκριμένης εφαρμογής. Επίσης, δημιουργούμε ένα εργαλείο με το οποίο θα μπορείτε να δείτε αν έχει αποκτήσει πρόσβαση στα δεδομένα σας το “thisisyourdigitallife”, η εφαρμογή που έστειλε δεδομένα στην Cambridge Analytica παραβιάζοντας τις πολιτικές της πλατφόρμας μας.
- We simplify the administration of the applications we use. We have already shown you which apps your account is connected to and what data you have allowed these applications to use. From now on, you will be able to find and manage these options more easily with the help of a tool that will appear at the beginning of your Updates.
- We disable access to data from applications you do not use. If you have not used an app within the last 3 months, we will disable this app's access to your information.
- We are limiting the data needed to connect via Facebook. We are changing the way the connection works in order to limit the data that applications can request if they have not passed the test. Apps will now only be able to request your name, profile image, and email address. In order to request any other details, they must have secured our approval.
As we focus on implementing these changes, we have temporarily stopped approving apps. We are responsible for protecting your data and we are committed to protecting this data and making our platform even more so safe.
