I don’t know any of the specifics. But, if that is true...you have sold all your personal and private information.
In exchange for “free data”.
When I said that, I meant that the Philippine government has some sort of arrangement with Facebook so that everyone there has access to talk to loved ones who have left the Philippines.
I don’t communicate personal information over my smartphone. If I were to do.that, I would buy another smartphone and not download apps on that phone at all, other than my bank app. Unfortunately, some jobs are requiring digital banking now so I can’t avoid that.
