3⃣ Facebook wants to “automatically sense, record and identify all types of activities such as walking, running, jogging, cycling, rowing, driving with car, bus, train, walking stairs, jumping, swimming, playing football & skiing” patents.google.com/patent/US20150… | #Facebook #privacy
4⃣ Facebook wants to “analyze any combination of the social signals“ to determine if you’re uploading “suspicious, unauthorized, or copyrighted content" -> Do your friends share unauthorized content? patents.google.com/patent/US20130… | #facebook #copywrongs
5⃣ Facebook wants to analyze the keywords you use while discussing “politician’s names” and “political, legal or economic issues”
An interface is then exposed for “Political analysts” or “marketing agencies“ patents.google.com/patent/US20100…
Cambridge Analytica will like that.. 🤔

even if you're smart enough to turn off GPS:
They will try to get it from a nearby “RFID reader, NFC system, Bluetooth device, MAC address of your router, or the device’s Wifi ID“ patents.google.com/patent/US20170… | #Facebook #Privacy
