Don't miss Alex Stamos (former Facebook Chief Security Officer's reply): https://twitter.com/alexstamos/status/1320006154424967170

If I'm understanding Alex right, he's saying that Facebook's 2019 FTC consent decree requires them to limit the personal information collected by apps on the platform.




It's a browser plugin, not a facebook app. Why should facebook have a say on what plugins I have installed in my browser that did not come from facebook? Should they be able to have a say about ublock origin or other apps I have installed on my computer/browser?


it would be a new angle to require functionality qualifications examination to weed out any compromized browsers or OS's, all in the name of security and privacy of course

Is ublock origin allowing you to scrape data from their platform? Then they may want to block that.


the clipboard lets me scrape data. ban that too?


I'm sure they would absolutely love to dictate this.
