Facebook Admits: It Scans All Messages And Photos You Send On Messenger
Earlier this week, in an interview with Vox, Mark Zuckerberg tried to answer some hard questions put in front of him. In the same process, he ended telling about the ethnic cleansing issue in Myanmar and how Facebook detected people’s sensational messages sent via Messenger.
This sparked some obvious questions regarding Facebook’s Messenger-related data policies. Now we have answers as a result of Facebook’s statements given to Bloomberg.
The company told that it scans the Messenger conversations of all users to curb abuse on the social network. However, the company doesn’t use this private data for advertising purposes.
As per the content policies of the company, all content must be treated with same guidelines. So, all messages need to be scanned and automated tools are employed to flag a message or picture for review.
Explaining further, the company told that it needs to scan links as well to eradicate the threat of malware. Similarly, by scanning pictures, it aims to detect and flag child pornography.
In the wake of recent revelations, Facebook has also come up with its updated privacy policy. The new policy tries to explain the data usage in a more transparent manner.
“We explain the services we offer in a language that’s easier to read,” an official blog post reads. It also talks about a feedback collection process that’ll let you share what you think about the new changes.
Moreover, it has also been made clear that Instagram and Messenger apps follow the same data policy and content review rules.
Cyber Security and Your Mobile Phone
With increasing numbers of us using our mobile devices in nearly every aspect of our busy lives, one of the most important things to do is stay safe and secure when online.
Mobile Malware like Viking Hoard that created a botnet and affected Android devices, or Pegasus that affected both iOS and Android devices masquerading and an app to harvest data are very real threats which were primarily used for adware purposes, now they have been seen rooting millions of devices with malware effectively opening the back door on infected devices.
The thought that your mobile could be used for any purpose, and that includes stealing sensitive data is very scary, and very real.
One simple way to help protect yourself via your phone is to regularly check the status of your mobile apps and the updates. Delete them if they are no longer supported in the Apple or Google stores.
Of course, it is also vital to have good security software installed on your mobile devices. User behavior and awareness need to evolve alongside the continued threat of malware and possible spyware.
For instance, if you were going to play at a mobile casino it would be bad practice to simply pick one randomly and then give your banking details over to the site, just like you would not give your details over to an insurance site easily. Luckily there are honest sites out there still, sites like mobile slots UK have to adhere to the rules and regulations set out by the Gambling Commission or they will get their operator’s license revoked.
Any site should be transparent and have all of its information set out in an easy to see, jargon-free way, especially if you are going to spend any money on it, and this goes for all sites, whether they are online casinos, car insurance sites, clothing stores or any of the millions of sites where you can spend your hard-earned cash.
Interestingly on online casinos, BOKU is becoming one of the most widely used forms of paying for games online. It works by either adding the cost of the games your play to your monthly contract or taking the cost of the games from your ‘pay as you go account.’
Using this form of payment method means you do not have to give any bank details or credit card details to the site at all, in fact, you don’t even have to have a bank account.
With increasing numbers of people becoming reticent about giving banking details, companies like BOKU provide an alternative that appeals to many.
