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
Also for cynics who say we can choose -- this isn't just something you can opt out of by deleting Facebook. Data is being taken **even if the end user isn’t a Facebook member**https://t.co/XYw4k2dSVI

A new low in privacy malpractice. @facebook has been collecting app users’ blood pressure, body weight, and even pregnancy status without users’ knowledge. This is a stunning, unacceptable invasion of privacy. https://t.co/d2QTWYCLjf
