On facebook's data privacy. I have never installed facebook or instagram on my android test phone yet zuckerberg and co won't leave me alone. How do i know, because i proxied web traffic through a mitm tool and caught fb sending data about my phone to its data centers. Here's how
Facebook leverages its sdk installed across diverse apps to create and maintain profiles of consumers even if they don't use any of its apps. In my case, the culprit is an English Premier League app. Data sent to facebook datacenters includes phone orientation in 3d space - x,y,z
Battery stats, rooted/non-rooted, GDPR applicability - no in my case, my location, app with fb sdk, time, phone model, consent status - of course this rides on consent granted to app with fb sdk. Sneaky imho, among other data points. Where is all this data sent to,
it's sent to graph.facebook.com. I have no problem with facebook keeping tabs on it's users. What I object to is fb creating so-called 'shadow profiles' of people that want nothing to do with it. So what am i doing about this issue. How about manipulating the traffic....
passing through my mitm tool. Polluting their datasets is a small win in imo. What do you think about this data privacy issue. Lets have a conversation. #dataprivacy #dataprotection #facebookads #mitm #KOT #infosec #CyberSecurity @kot_hacker @CyDC_Kenya @BRIGHTZEED 
What do you think about data privacy
I am grateful to everyone that participated in this conversation. Honestly, I did not expect my thread to reach my brothers and sisters in Ghana, UK, Australia, India, and US. #dataprivacy #dataprotection is dear to me and will keel you posted if I find something interesting.
Any doubting Thomas, here's more evidence and this information is shared with advertisers. See the last bit of POST where it says "network_ads_common". Under Analog, data about your phone's free space, total memory, battery and accelerometer stats
