    The word “privacy” is getting thrown around a lot by big tech, but their business model still relies on selling your personal info. You deserve better. You deserve tech that puts your privacy first.

    What does the FTC v Facebook settlement mean for Facebook? $5B and some corporate restructuring. What does it mean for you? Honestly, not much. Go ahead and keep using our Facebook Container extension to keep FB from tracking you across the web!

    If you manage different accounts in chrome, you have to open different instances and switch between windows. However, in they have an add-on called "Multi-Account Containers" that does the same thing but on the same browser window. It's brilliant!

    Our documentation gives Facebook a clear roadmap to make improvements. Important elections are happening around the globe through the end of the year. We need an API that helps researchers & journalists uncover who is buying ads, the way these ads are being targeted and to whom.

    We set out to track political advertising ahead of the European elections using Facebook's API. Instead our researchers here at ⁦⁩ ended up documenting bug after bug with the library.

    A lot has changed in 105 years. We need legislation that reflects a world where the internet not only exists, but serves and protects the people that use it.

    So while Facebook should have known better than to repeatedly push (and cross) the line on privacy and data, it's not totally clear which specific behaviors aren't allowed.

    Why? The FTC operates under the FTC Act (from 1914, which obviously doesn't explicitly mention the internet or privacy). That means they can only impose enforcement against "unfair or deceptive practices," but don't have the authority to tell you what is okay or not beforehand.

    This settlement is a start, but shows what we really need is comprehensive privacy legislation.

    Here’s what we mean when we use the word “privacy”: we'll never sell what little personal info we have about you. Our business doesn’t depend on abusing your trust. Respecting privacy is at the core of all our products & the heart of our mission.
