Facebook has the data of almost half of Europeans
Table of contents:
Facebook has been accused multiple times over the years of violating users' privacy. How the social network accesses data is controversial. Now, it is revealed that the social network has the identifiable data of almost half of the European population. A figure that shows the enormous capacity of the company. And the ease with which they can obtain such information.
Facebook has the data of almost half of Europeans
Facebok currently has data on around 40% of Europe's population. Among these data are addresses, interests, personal relationships, email or phone number, among many others. There is everything.
Facebok has access to data from media Europe
In addition, The Carlos III University in Barcelona has managed to find out that Facebook links three out of four profiles to interests related to your personal data. So they use this data for commercial purposes. Since the ads that come out are based on the data that the social network collects from users. So they are usually more adjusted to the interests of each one.
Furthermore, it appears that user data is easily accessible. And very cheap. Because the cost of discovering information about a user is estimated to be just $ 0.02. So there are undoubtedly many interested in having this data owned by Facebook.
We leave you the following clarification that the Spanish Facebook agency has indicated:
Like other Internet companies, Facebook displays ads based on topics that we think may be of interest to people, but without using sensitive personal data. This means that we might show an advertisement to someone we think might be interested in Chinese culture, including food, art, and history. To do this, we don't need to know the person's ethnicity or other confidential personal data."
"Our advertising fully complies with Irish data protection law in force and we are actively preparing for the GDPR to ensure that we comply when it comes into force in May."
Although from the social network they claim that user data is safe at all times . But it is curious and perhaps worrying that Facebook has so much data on its property.
