Masters of the Universe: Facebook Admits to Sharing User Data with 61 Companies

Facebook has admitted to sharing the personal data of its users with 61 different companies. Social media giant Facebook admitted recently to giving access to their user’s data to 61 other hardware and software developers after claiming that they had stopped this practice in May 2015 CNET reports. The company delivered a 747 page document to Congress on Friday in response to the hundreds of questions left unanswered by CEO Mark Zuckerberg during his hearing before members of Congress in April.

The social media Masters of the Universe stated that they had arranged a special “one-time” six-month extension to the 61 companies, including AOL, USPS, a dating app named Hinge and many more, so that they could update their services to become compliant with the site’s new privacy policy. Some of the data shared with the companies during this time period included friends’ names, genders and birth dates.

In the documents submitted to Congress, the company stated: “We engaged companies to build integrations for a variety of devices, operating systems and other products where we and our partners wanted to offer people a way to receive Facebook or Facebook experiences. These integrations were built by our partners, for our users, but approved by Facebook.” The company further stated that they had discovered that five other companies “theoretically could have accessed limited friends’ data” due to a beta test on the platform.

Schmuckerberg has always said it’s his data, not yours.

You have no one to blame but yourself.

Farcebook is a citizen profile-building operation run by the Deep State, collecting data on everyone. Zucky is only a figurehead, a FAKE STORE FRONT if you will, posing as an entrepreneur. His role is to make sure YOU VOLUNTEER AS MUCH INFO ABOUT YOURSELF AS POSSIBLE so the Deep State knows you better than yourself.

Stole his biz idea from his partners.

Stole all the shares from his BEST friend.

He has betrayed almost EVERY person who has been close to him, why would he not betray total STRANGERS..?

The person who trusts Mark Zuckerberg is a slobbering fool.

It is their business model to sell access to their users and information about their users. It’s all they’ve got.

Sharing no. Selling yes. This sniveling worm is a fake phony fraud, even with a haircut and a new suit.

USPS is not a company.

It's the government.

What a surprise. < / s>

FB is arm of NWO to spy on people. Try mewe.com as they do not do ads, or share any content, you own your own conversations... it is anti-FB. MeWe has 2 million users and climbing!

“Shared”. Oh, I love this. Good people share, you know, bad people sell. And we know they’re all good people, don’t we?

Facebook, the identity thief at the pinnacle. FB is responsible for secondary identity thefts, and one can only guess at the number fraudulent tax returns they also share the responsibility for.

"..business model to sell access to their users.."

The headline says 'shared', so did Facebook sell its users down the river or just dump them there?
