Signal clearly showed the amount of data that Fb collects from us without being able to.
At this point, no one is surprised that Fb Messenger and Instagram chats won’t be encrypted until at least 2022, that is privacy of its users According to the Menlo Park company, which is also causing half the planet to revolutionize due to their ongoing and new massive data leaks, this is something to work on long-term. Terms of Use that you intend to apply to us on WhatsApp and that caused a Mass exodus of users vía alternatives like Signal and Telegram on mobile platforms.
It was indeed Signal who answered now Make fun of Fb with an ad campaign on Instagram which clearly showed that huge amount of data collected by Fb from us, something like he told us Android authority It wasn’t very fun for Zuckerberg’s company.
And we say that because Fb removed the ads almost immediatelyif Signal has verified that such ad is objectionable it was personal to everyone who saw it Showing the personal details of the profile created by those of Menlo Park on their popular services.
Signal achieves the desired effect and jumps into the media by mocking Fb after launching this weird ad campaign on Instagram that personalizes fácil ads with the private information collected by Mark Zuckerberg’s networks.
They say of Signal that their main motivation was not to add to the already growing usuario base, but simply Highlight and let everyone know about the massive amount of data collected through our applications, in especial through popular networks that create profiles according to our use, such as B. those of Fb:
The ad we designed would espectáculo only some of the information collected about the usuario using the ad platform itself.
This is how some of the signal ads banned by Fb read with the usuario’s personal information.
As you have seen, all ads showed the same fácil format, Details such as occupation, location, preferences and even matrimonial status of the usuario are revealedwith surprising results for countless users who aren’t very restrictive when it comes to controlling the permissions and data granted to the aplicaciones on their phone.
Shortly after the start of the campaign The developer of the sign herself announced on Twitter that Fb had banned itconfirms that they even deactivated their account on the ad platform:
Fb didn’t hesitate and banned the entire Signal ad campaign.
In addition, they stated in a statement that “Fb is more than willing to sell and disclose data about people’s lives, and they should also let people know how that data is being used.”.
This news comes to add fuel to the fire Open discussion between Fb and Apple after the update to iOS 14.5where Apple allows users to opt out of tracking and Fb notifies them that this tracking allows them free services.
