Facebook today began rolling out a feature to some users that will let them know if their data has been leaked in its much-hyped scandal Cambridge Analytica.
Facebook has promised to alert users whose data may have been used for political gain.
According to Wired, starting with 7 am. on Tuesday, some Facebook users will begin to see two messages at their top their news feed. One message will refer to Cambridge Analytica, while the other will focus on privacy, data, and control of the applications they use on Facebook.
So if you or a Facebook friend had tried the "This is Your Digital Life" quiz used by Cambridge Analytica to steal data, you will see the following message:
We have banned the "This is Your Digital Life" page, which may have been used by one of your Facebook friends. You can learn more about what happened and how you can remove any other application and page if you no longer want to have access to your Facebook information. ”
If Cambridge Analytica didn't have access to your data, Facebook will take you through the settings so you can protect yourself better τις πληροφορίες σας στο κοινωνικό δίκτυο και από τις αμέτρητες εφαρμογές του.
