See thread! Using security to further weaken privacy is a lousy move—especially since phone numbers can be hijacked to weaken security. Putting people at risk. What say you @facebook?https://twitter.com/jeremyburge/status/1101402001907372032 …
Yep. I can no longer keep keep private the phone number that I PROVIDED ONLY FOR SECURITY to Facebook. ZERO notification of this major, risky change. For years I urged dissidents at risk to use 2FA on Facebook. They were afraid of this. @Facebook doesn't care about their safety.pic.twitter.com/lW8wjBJlfz
Based on assurances by Facebook that 2FA numbers were 2FA only, we told people—AT REAL RISK—to use 2FA even when it was just via phone number. It sucked, but getting hacked is more dangerous. Hard for dissidents to avoid Facebook. Now sold out to improve ad-targeting a tiny bit.
Phone number is such a private, important security link. But Facebook will even let you be targeted for ads through phone numbers INCLUDING THOSE PROVIDED *ONLY* FOR SECOND FACTOR AUTHENTICATION. Messing with 2FA is the anti-vaccination misinformation of security. Unconscionable.pic.twitter.com/zIQqc6QPoN
fwiw, I removed my phone number after sign-up and I still have two-factor auth enabled on my account with a security key and an app. Are you not able to remove your phone number? Do you have at least 2 methods for 2FA set up?pic.twitter.com/OiT7YEw74F
Oh, they kept the number even though I removed it from the 2FA settings. Sneaky fuckerspic.twitter.com/AP8Re0NgU3
Surely by now there's enough behavioural evidence for everyone to stop using Facebook ?
Can we find a way to develop a new communication platform that would replace FB all together? Based not on commercial but on public service business model? Engage public funds that now only serve legacy media?
the answer many people think must be a decentralised system - where no single entity controls the system - private or public (gov's can go bad too) email, the first sent in 1969 I believe, is a good simple example of a decentralised system
They say : Sorry, we will change. Kthxbye
It's difficult to comprehend Facebook's moral duality as a company (forget the founder himself). I wonder whether they debate internally the consequences of their choices at all, since they're constantly, and purposefully, challenging the user's trust. What _is_ Facebook?
That’s why I never give phone numbers for “increased security” on anything.
@facebook and Mark Zuckerberg with his henchwoman Sheryl Sandberg would just "sorry, very sorry, deeply sorry, truly sorry, apologize, really sincerely apologize,..." And go back to worsening privacy even more.
Well so far I’d say they’ve been reading the phone number if you’ve used mobile browsing, getting from your friends adding contacts (really love that since it’s 3rd degree data acquisition) so not hugely surprised at this point.
Yeah I've never given Facebook my phone number, but it's in the data because someone else used their contacts list to find friends or something. I was so pissed to find out.
Phone numbers are an invasive and hard to change UID - so many garbage apps using 2FA to phish your number
Today I deleted my phone number from my Facebook account, and immediately Facebook disabled my 2FA even though 2FA doesn't require a mobile phone. (I use Authy.)
So for civil society activists operating in restrictive environments and authoritarian countries, what do you recommend regarding 2FA for @facebook platforms now?
Also if you have your friends list private (as ‘only me’) they will still leak it to your friends as new connection recommendations and tell that you have them added as a friend
I’m changing my number now. I hate linking my phone number to anything honestly...
