Wow.@facebook sweeps up sensitive data — including heart rate and when a woman is having her period — from top phone apps.

A few seconds after the app finished measuring my pulse, I saw it pop up in the network traffic headed to Facebook: \"heartrate\":56,\"

Get our FB container extension to keep them from tracking you across the web and use Firefox Focus to log into FB on your phone, instead of their app: https://t.co/ThdJV05DO2https://t.co/303ww2KTQT
