Facebook continues to experience the consequences of its Cambridge Analytica scandal. If this week it was announced that they are going to receive a huge fine in the United States, which might not be the only one they receive, the firm now announces measures. Since they seek to ban personality tests and other applications. These types of apps usually have access to too much data, something that you want to avoid now.

These applications are of no use, but end up having access to a huge amount of personal data about users. So the social network seeks to end them.

New measures in the social network

As they have already confirmed from the social network, a certain number of APIs from July will see this access removed. So they cannot be used on the social network. A change is coming, although it may seem that it has taken too long for the company to make such a decision. Since for a long time the problems that these apps generate are well known.

Facebook has not acted as quickly in this case. Although they recognize the problem that this type of applications cause. So at least there is some movement on their part, which finally allows their elimination.

It has not been mentioned how many applications of this type are affected. Although it is expected that Facebook completely eliminates this type of applications. At least it would be the most logical, looking at the problems they have caused in the past. We await more details soon.
