[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1067723, member: 175144"] Apparently not. [I] The company has a standard list of App Events that it provides to every developer that wants to use them. On top of that, developers can also create Custom Events, tailored to their app’s specific needs. In Facebook’s policies for how to use Custom Events, it states that developers shouldn’t use Custom Events to gather and send back sensitive data. But, that’s what those 11 apps supposedly did, according to the Wall Street Journal's testing.[/I] [URL="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-47341533"]Another Facebook data row. But who to blame?[/URL] [/QUOTE]
