The world's popular social media company Facebook has made a big announcement today. In response to the company's ongoing investigation, Facebook has removed thousands of apps from its platform. The company has taken this step in the context of the ongoing investigation on the activity of app developers and its apps on Facebook. The investigation was launched after the Cambridge Analytica controversy in March 2018. In a blog post, the social media platform said that thousands of apps from about 400 app developers have been suspended. It is not that Facebook users were threatened by all these applications, because many of them were still in the testing phase and have not rolled out for the user.
Sharing his statement, Facebook has written in a blog post - In some cases we have completely banned the app. There can be many reasons for this. This may include sharing the data in public and sharing the data incorrectly. Our investigation is still not completely finished.
For your information, let us tell you that along with removing the apps from its platform, the company has announced in its blogpost that it has also removed many APIs, which were giving developers access to the data of Facebook users. It is also written that - We have made our rules more stringent for the developers to access the user's data. Now, in apps that request data access from users, it will find out how that data is being used and how the user experience is getting better from it. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission earlier this year I financed $ 5 billion on facebook. This was due to violations of the Fine Cambridge Analytica scandal and other privacy. The authority has also brought some new rules on Facebook's business operations.
