Facebook has admitted that the company gave dozens of tech companies and app developers special access to its users' data - Shocking!! (not really, how can we expect them to make money if their service is free) -

This should not bother GMAIL users who have voluntarily surrendered their (and their friend's) privacy.

During the Cambridge Analytica scandal revealed March this year, Facebook stated that it already cut off third-party access to its users' data and their friends in May 2015 only.

However, in a 747-page long document [PDF] delivered to Congress late Friday, the social networking giant admitted that it continued sharing data with 61 hardware and software makers, as well as app developers after 2015 as well.

The social network shared information about its users with these companies to help them create their own versions of Facebook or Facebook features for their devices, well of course, "under the terms and policies they provide to their users."
