Someone should mention also that in the downloadable facebook archive, in the html/ folder, there is a file called contact_info.htm and its a pretty large file. It is apparently every google contact you ever had, all synced to facebook, for every device you ever logged into. So, if you ever might have used a friends device to check your facebook account using then facebook app, then all of that persons contacts are there too, as well as their sms history metadata and call history metadata.
I’ve let quite a few people log into the Facebook app on my phone and now I’m pissed.
I was always careful with privacy settings on Facebook, but the thought never even crossed my mind of what I’d be “agreeing” to by letting someone briefly use my phone.
I’m sure someone will come along shortly to tell me I deserve it and should have know better and was asking for it but whatever.
How will the GDPR handle instances like this?
