The story behind the story

Some Reddit users who installed the Facebook Research VPN say they knew of its extensive data collection, but had little expectation of privacy to begin with

and thrilled at the price. http://slate.com/... http://twitter.com/... Rob Price / @robaeprice : Internally, Facebook is dancing round whether Facebook Research broke Apple's rules, saying that's “Apple's view” but “we wouldn't put that relationship at risk intentionally.” Will Strafach / @chronic : pretty decent breakdown here for those who would like to catch up on this nasty Facebook Research business. http://twitter.com/... Shannon Palus / @shanpalus : we already give up privacy to poop and pee in public restrooms (http://slate.com/...), while the facebook research app is uniquely horrifying, it make sense that this is happening in America because our privacy expectations are so minuscule (http://slate.com/...) David Carroll / @profcarroll : When reporters seek out users of Facebook Research App are they afraid to answer important questions about consent? Regardless, any families with EU citizens that used this app should file a complaint with the appropriate Data Protection Authority. http://twitter.com/... Christina Farr / @chrissyfarr : I once met a FB employee who described some recent criticism in positive terms: “you'd have to payout millions to get that kind of feedback on how to improve your product.” I was floored at this level of maturity. If relevant this person was British. http://twitter.com/... @chrismessina : This is such a big story. Gatekeepers gunna keep keepin' gates! http://twitter.com/...
