  • An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's Battle for Domination

    Hello All!

    Facebook FIRED 52 employees caught SPYING - book reveals

    Zuckerberg's employees allegedly ABUSED their access to the
    social network's user data between 2014 and 2015, including
    male associates apparently obtaining location information on
    women for their own personal gains.

    FB engineers were also caught reportedly accessing private
    messages from accounts and viewing deleted photographs,
    according to a book titled: "An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's
    Battle for Domination" by journalists Sheera Frenkel and
    Cecilia Kang.

    According to one shocking excerpt in the Daily Telegraph, a
    male employee accessed the location data of a woman he had gone
    on holiday with after she left him following a fight - tracking
    her down to her new hotel and confronting her.

    At the time, over 16,000 employees had access to private user
    data - the authors posing the question how many other staff
    could have abused their privilege, but were never caught?

    It sounds unsurprising; the company that abuses their power to influence Americans is also using it to stalk women.
