Facebook has been recording people’s call records on Android. Another reason I never use Android.
I love that people defend Android because you can change permissions. Yeah and people read EULAs right? 🙄 iOS doesn’t even let developers access call history or SMS data.

A Facebook software engineer just emailed me. It's clear even Facebook employees don't understand why people are surprised the company even needs to collect call history and SMS data

Facebook has responded and doesn’t explain why it needs phone call records or SMS data when it’s seemingly asking for contacts access. It says the feature launched in 2015 as opt-in newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/03/f…
I discovered it was a Facebook software engineer that emailed me because I looked up their personal email address they used to contact me... on Facebook. You can do the same thing with phone numbers, because Facebook has collected a lot of data from 2.2 billion people

Another reason why I'm hesitant about Max... He calls himself the REAL Conservative, but alienates social Conservatives.
Social issues are HUGE right now. Charter rights of freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, in particular. 1/

Within Conservative circles many disdain "Social Conservatives" and dismiss them as though their only issue was Pro-Life and pro-religion. That is dead WRONG.
Freedom of speech, opinion, thought and expression are SOCIAL ISSUES, and have they ever mattered more than now?? 2/
Max does touch on this as far as the immigration aspect, but as far as I'm concerned, that is treating a symptom, rather than the cause.
We wouldn't be having this conversation about Cdns opposing so much immigration if it wasn't for the upheaval we're seeing SOCIALLY. 3/

Thread: If you want to know how fake likes, loves and follows get industrialised on #Facebook, here's a good example from #Brazil.

The fakes boosted hyper-partisan posts in Mexico ahead of the election.

Fake engagement's an international business.

Here are the reactions to two hyper-partisan Mexican posts, on different pages.

Note the number of accounts in common. Looks like an organised brigade.
Following the traces of the brigade led back to this account. Note the letters PCSD, which are diagnostic for this particular network.

There is so much ugliness in the world. The #Hivites are not only working as hard as they can to create as much chaos & negativity in the world as possible, they are also contributing to that swell of negativity with their own DREAD & HATE. I refuse to contribute to that feeling.
There is going to be ugliness & violence, probably more frequently, as the stakes get higher & the #Hivites continue losing ground. I know there is so much bad news to report, & everyone is angry & wanting justice. The DEMAND for justice is palpable. And it is good. But...
Truly, the very BEST thing #WeThePeople can do is counter-BALANCE this negativity with LOVE. With COMPASSION. With honest recognition of truth & firm, unwavering enforcement of reasonable BOUNDARIES. How would you speak to a 4 year old? Do that with these bad actors. Because...
