<div>⚠️ ***Facebook's New COVID-19 Features are Endangering Your Privacy ⚠️***</div><div><br></div><div>**Hey Everyone,**</div><div><br></div><div>Recently, Facebook has launched a slew of new features that it says will help bring people together during this time of social distancing.🧐 Sadly, Facebook is using the COVID-19 pandemic as a gateway to invade our privacy and harvest even more of our personal data so FB can share it with FB's real customers: advertisers, marketers, and politicians.👎</div><div><br></div><div>*Watch out for these new privacy-invading features Facebook launched in April:*</div><div><br></div><div>1⃣**April 26: Facebook Launches "Messenger Rooms" to Compete with Zoom**</div><div>As I discussed in my News and Updates post on April 13, the video-chat service Zoom has its own serious problems with privacy and security. 🔏&nbsp; Now, Facebook has launched its competing video-chat feature called "Messenger Rooms", and things have gone from bad to worse. 🤦</div><div><br></div><div>FB claims these video chatrooms are "private", but as Forbes reported, "Messenger Rooms uses the same data collection policies as Facebook, which includes sharing your information with third parties." That doesn't sound very private! 🤔</div><div>https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2020/04/26/facebooks-messenger-rooms-is-not-actually-all-that-private-heres-why/#18aefecfb098</div><div><br></div><div>2⃣**April 22: Facebook Launches "Messenger Kids" in 70 New Countries**</div><div>FB's "Messenger Kids" targets the most naive and innocent audience imaginable: children aged 6-12. While they’re too young to use Facebook (you must be 13), they’re apparently not too young to be spied on, targeted and manipulated by it.👎</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I wrote about this disaster called "Messenger Kids" 2 years ago:</div><div>https://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/mark-weinstein-you-shouldnt-your-11758070</div><div><br></div><div>"Messenger Kids" collects data such as children’s full names, their texts, audio, photos and videos, as well as whom the child interacts with, and the features they use and how long they use them - and who with, their location, etc. What will happen to this data⁉️ If you have kids, keep them far away from FB's "Messenger Kids". 🚫</div><div>https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/22/21230822/facebook-messenger-kids-international-expansion-group-settings-friend-requests-supervised-friending</div><div><br></div><div>3⃣**April 7: Facebook Launches "Tuned" App for Couples**</div><div>"Tuned" is Facebook's latest attempt to harvest data on our romantic and marital relationships, following quickly on the heels of "Facebook Dating".🤵👰The data gleaned by "Tuned" of our most intimate relationships will live forever in Facebook's massive data ecosystem, while access to us will be sold to advertisers and marketers worldwide for relentless micro-targeting. 🎯</div><div>https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/07/facebook-ships-an-experimental-app-for-couples/</div><div><br></div><div>**Good News: MeWe is here!** 🥳 Next-gen social networking where you enjoy all the best social media features without being spied on, targeted, or manipulated.
