Some Android apps share data with Facebook without permission

This is an analysis carried out by Privacy International. It leaves with some worrying figures, in addition to the bad practices of the social network.

New problems with Facebook

In the analysis that the company has carried out, it has been found that 61% of the applications they have tested, automatically send data to Facebook. They do so at the moment the user logs into that app. In addition, it does not matter if said person has an account on the social network or not, nor if they have the session open or not. In all cases, such data is sent.

In addition, in some cases, the information that is being sent to the social network is considered to be very detailed, sensitive and private. It concerns users who may or may not have an account on the social network.

The legal consequences for Facebook and these apps in the European Union can be serious. So far there has been no reaction from the company. But surely we will have more information about this new scandal soon. We also expect specific names of apps.
