Are you concerned with your social media presence and privacy after hearing about Facebook's constant privacy protection failings?
Do you want to know more about how Facebook handles your private data?
Do you want to balance the scales of knowledge between you and Facebook?
Enter Facebook PI: Privacy Investigator A Firefox extension revealing Facebook's various privacy issues and concerns.
Facebook has become part of daily life for millions of people around the world. We've become comfortable with the platform that provides a space where we can connect with friends and family, build communities, and more. However, many users do not know the extent of Facebook's grasp on their information, whether it was shared willingly online or unwillingly offline.
You have a right to know what your Facebook experience is being used for. While Facebook says it has a commitment to protecting its users' privacy, the many scandals that appear each year say differently.
Your private data is important, both to you and tech companies like Facebook. It can range from your Facebook posts, photos, or pages you like to your location data and purchase history from various businesses. Do you feel comfortable with this much information about you in the hands of Facebook?
Take the first step in regaining your power from Facebook, the power of controlling the access to your private data.
If you want to learn more about protecting your privacy while still using Facebook, take a look at these resources:
Download files onto your computer and load as a temporary extension in the Firefox about:debugging page.
Go about using Facebook as normal. When you interact with certain elements of the Facebook page a pop up will appear with information regarding Facebook's privacy issues regarding said function.
In future updates I plan on:
- Adding more info blurbs to the extension
- Have the extension update with the latest in Facebook privacy news using an API
