    It’s worse than you thought. Facebook gave: -Microsoft names of users’ friends without consent -Netflix and Spotify got to read users’ private messages -Amazon got user contact info via friends. Big story from @gabrieldance @laforgia_ @nickconfessorehttps://nyti.ms/2GqnbC9

        to be clear, Netflix says it never accessed those messages ... that the ability existed is the bigger issue

        When I referred to policies and actions that diverged from my values, I meant this sort of thing. I didn’t know about this new, devastating @nytimes story. But @facebook is now being viewed as a corrupt operation by investigative reporters. This saga is no longer a tech story.

        A worrying privacy thing happened to my sister with Amazon: She lives in local government housing (UK council housing), & had her Amazon parcels delivered to my house as I'm always in. She got a letter from housing dept about fraud saying she lived at my house! Amazon ONLY link.

        > So either Amazon or Royal Mail cross-referenced the address with some other database. Usually Amazon Logistics delivers. The housing dept accepted the explanation, luckily. She writes c/o on the address info now.

        No, I do not consider it an important distinction. If you want to make that distinction, you start to play Facebooks game. What really matters is that they expose private data.

        One q, did users have to link their FB accounts to whatever app for the partnerships to work? Say linking my Spotify account w/FB or like did Amazon have access to all 2+ billion users' data? In order words is it a Cambridge Analytica quiz app thing or something else?

        Can you please clarify how the partnerships worked? I've already seen multiple outlets saying FB gave access to these companies without alerting users - however is it because one party merged/linked accounts (and then co had access to friends/others in conversations) or ...?
