ZUCKERBERG, THE FOUNDER HAS BEEN ON A TOUR OF APOLOGIES. on his facebook zuckerberg laid out three steps the social media site would take, including investigating all apps that were able to
access user data before 2014, when the company began changing its permissions for developers. facebook said it would put restrictions on the data apps can access, limiting them to a person’s
name, photo and email. finally, zuckerberg said facebook will make an easy tool that lets everyone see which apps have access to their data and allow them to revoke access. as a result
users have been discovering the exact amount of their data the site has been storing as well as joining an online campaign under the hashtag #DELETEFACEBOOK. kieron marchese I designboom mar
