Facebook uses heat maps to track what is do at every moment, if it installs in either your computer, laptop or the mobile phone and not sure on if any other social media website do that to gauge user behavior, interest and interface utilization? I guess the difference is FB is putting it in an available data set along with everything else about consumers' individual lives.
With the about fact and admitted by Mark Zuckerberg,CEO, Facebook on his submitter 454 page report to US congress detailing all the ways through which it tracts user’s activities. I think that I disagree with you on whether or not sharing the data is important. If you are heat mapping me, I'm sorry, yes we ‘ve a problem with it. I don't care if you don't share that data. I don't want someone to do recording what's going on in my living room. Doesn't matter if the data isn't shared. It's just the principle of the thing.
All the Facebook users have to get the awareness and there also a awareness campaign from the technology giant ( Facebook) should write in their disclaimer ; Facebooks tracks their every move, even if they’re signed out of their accounts . The Cambridge Analytica scandal coupled with Europe’s new strict privacy laws brought all that to the forefront. Facebook was forced to publicly address the way it handles user data following the Cambridge Analytica revelations, and make changes to its privacy to fix some of those issues and simultaneously prepare for the GDPR law.
Now, a question comes on how many of us affords, Facebook to record our mouse movements to make sure we are a human, but also details about all the other devices around you. More worryingly, data about your “online and offline actions” is also gathered. I get the online part. But offline actions? Facebook also knows your mobile operator, internet service provider, and IP address, as well as your cookie data, time zone, and internet connection speed. Facebook hoovers up your GPS location, camera information, and photos if you don’t lock down your settings. Call logs and SMS log history are also recorded if users choose to sync their Android devices or upload data.
Lastly, without Facebook the world is not going to stop but it’ll protect your privacy and the intelligent part is one should know on how to do the settings options ,which is available in all devices to protect your own privacy, if it’ll you are concerned .
