So one of the really creepy things about the whole FB business is that even if you yourself were careful to not use any silly apps on it that suck your data or log into any websites using your FB account, that doesn’t mean your “friends” didn’t give your data away by giving permissions to read data on THEIR friends. Gah
Deleted account awhile ago but fear that made little difference bc they already had lots of my data and probably still do even after deletion.
Makes me feel yucky.
@clhendricksbc @Gargron To be honest though the question is whether and how something like the fediverse can defend itself against these sorts of uses. It seems like this open environment is extremely susceptible to this kind of attack.. Perhaps its a vulnerability and intrinsic part of social media in general..
@rra @clhendricksbc @gargron This. As soon as you make private data available to friends, whether on a centralized system like Facebook or something more decentralized, you're vulnerable to your friends being hoodwinked into running malicious software.
