Six4Three shut down the app soon afterward. Six4Three, Hendrix confirmed, was playing within the rules Facebook had set for developers.ĭespite this, Six4Three’s access to data, specifically access to a user’s friends’ photos, was cut off in April 2015 as part of sweeping changes to Facebook’s platform announced a year earlier, which affected as many as 40,000 apps. In Six4Three’s case, for example, Facebook’s head of policy Allison Hendrix acknowledged in a June 2017 deposition obtained by NBC News that the social network never received any complaints about the Pikinis app, nor did Facebook send Six4Three any policy or privacy violation notices. Facebook declined to provide additional evidence to support the claim of cherry-picking. NBC News has not been able to determine whether the documents represent a complete picture.
The finding of “evidence of a crime or fraud” came from a preliminary decision by the judge in the Six4Three case about an earlier round of leaked documents. But the facts are clear: we've never sold people’s data.” The documents were selectively leaked as part of what the court found was evidence of a crime or fraud to publish some, but not all, of the internal discussions at Facebook at the time of our platform changes. We still stand by the platform changes we made in 2014/2015 to prevent people from sharing their friends' information with developers like the creators of Pikinis. “The set of documents, by design, tells only one side of the story and omits important context. “As we’ve said many times, Six4Three - creators of the Pikinis app - cherry picked these documents from years ago as part of a lawsuit to force Facebook to share information on friends of the app's users,” Paul Grewal, vice president and deputy general counsel at Facebook, said in a statement released by the company. However, this cache represents the clearest and most comprehensive picture of Facebook’s activities during a critical period as the company struggled to adapt to the rise of smartphones following its rocky debut as a public company. Jeff Chiu / AP fileĪbout 400 of the 4,000 pages of documents have previously been reported by other media outlets, and also by a member of the British Parliament who has been investigating Facebook’s data privacy practices in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. A man poses for photos in front of the Facebook sign on the company's campus in Menlo Park, California, in 2014. The company has not been accused of breaking the law. I will gladly change my rating to a 5 if these issues are addressed.Facebook ultimately decided not to sell the data directly but rather to dole it out to app developers who were considered personal “friends” of Zuckerberg or who spent money on Facebook and shared their own valuable data, the documents show.įacebook denied that it gave preferential treatment to developers or partners because of their ad spending or relationship with executives. ***Unless you keep an eye on it, you’ll have zero idea that your block list is wiped and not working.****Įncrypted shows it’s still working, but the numbers are significantly lower when the site blocking stops. I have to check that PrivacyProSmartVPN is working several times a day because at ANY moment my block list will be gone and stop working. I thought buying PrivacyProSmartVPN would put and end to the problem, sadly it did not.

I had the free version for a few years and was having the same issues with the blocked list disappearing and not working. (Yes developers, I’ve deleted/re-installed app, restored purchases, deleted/re-installed the VPN and wiped the block list AND I’ve restarted my phone.) Which is a new error message not allowing me to block any websites. My block list is gone and stopped working and I’m not able to re-block any website to start over and create a new list.
