Facebook has lost control of user data, leaked documents claim
Facebook does not know how the massive amounts of data it collects is used, a new leaked document alleges.
“We’ve built systems with open borders… imagine you hold a bottle of ink in your hand. This bottle of ink is a mixture of all kinds of user data,” an internal report from the company leaked to Motherboard described.
“You pour that ink into a lake of water (our open data systems; our open culture)… and it flows… everywhere. How do you put that ink back in the bottle? How do you organize it again, such that it only flows to the allowed places in the lake?”
The document, written last year by Facebook’s privacy engineers on the Ad and Business Product team, said that Facebook “do[es] not have an adequate level of control and explainability over how our systems use data”.
