Facebook to impose more limits on developers to protect privacy

Following the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Facebook has been making some changes to improve user privacy. And it seems that these changes will continue, as the social network announces new measures. In this case it is about measures that affect developers. Since they will have restrictions with access to certain user data.

These are changes that are going to be made in the way some APIs work. Since developers will need permissions to access some data from user profiles.

In addition, Facebook has confirmed that some of the APIs will stop working. This is a new attempt by the social network to regulate the many problems that have been with privacy in recent times. In addition, that in most cases it is developers who seek to obtain this private information from users of the social network.

So, with these measures, the aim is to not have as much access to information, and to make access to it more difficult. The question is whether they will really be effective or if the developers will be against this announcement by Facebook.

What is clear is that they will not be the last changes that come from the social network. Since, as we said at the beginning, they have been making changes constantly for months. And it does not give the sensation that they are going to stop.
