Facebook Takes a Stand—Heads‑Up, Apps Get the Boot!
So, you’ve heard the whispering rumors—Cambridge Analytica, data mining headaches, a soup of privacy concerns. Facebook’s gone into detective mode, and the first season of their “App Apocalypse” has just aired: about 200 apps are on the chopping block.
What’s the Deal?
Vice President of Product Partnerships, Ime Archibong, announced the suspension of these apps while they wait for a thorough investigation into whether any data sneaking has taken place. In other words, “Hey apps, you’re under the microscope for now.”
Fox News, NY Times, or “News Bites”:
”There’s a lot more work to be done to find all the apps that may have misused people’s Facebook data—and it will take time,” Archibong told the world. He added that the company has large squads of internal and external experts who are working hard to catch every leaky vessel.
How Many Apps Were Already Checked?
By the way, Facebook did not just stumble over these 200 apps. They’re already crawling through thousands of apps in their own private‑eye search. That’s a full‑blown audit of the Facebook app universe.
Wrap‑Up: “Sit Tight” & Follow the Story
