US senators Mark Warner and Marco Rubio believe that developers with access to the Facebook API (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation and banned) can use users’ personal data for espionage, reports Reuters.
The senators wrote a letter to the founder of Meta (recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation and banned) Mark Zuckerberg with a request to clarify whether this is true or not.
It follows from these documents that Facebook (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation) has known since at least September 2018 that hundreds of thousands of developers in countries characterized by the company as “high-risk”, including the People’s Republic of China, had access to significant amounts of sensitive user data.
Letter to Mark Zuckerberg says
The documents the senators are talking about were released during the Cambridge Analytica trial.
Thanks to this, it became known that the Facebook API (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation and banned) was used by 90,000 developers from China, 42,000 from Russia, and several thousand from Iran and North Korea. They had access to users’ personal data, including photos.
