All- Does anyone in this group know of any locally based and run organizations that are coordinating relief or health care delivery for those affected by the floods? Relatedly, does anyone know of an org (can be the same one) that could benefit from mapping data to deliver services?

London, UK – May 2, 2018—Earlier today, SCL Elections Ltd., as well as certain of its and Cambridge Analytica LLC’s U.K. affiliates (collectively, the “Company” or “Cambridge Analytica”) filed applications to commence insolvency proceedings in the U.K. The Company is immediately ceasing all operations and the boards have applied to appoint insolvency practitioners Crowe Clark Whitehill LLP to act as the independent administrator for Cambridge Analytica. Additionally, parallel bankruptcy proceedings will soon be commenced on behalf of Cambridge Analytica LLC and certain of the Company’s U.S. affiliates in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Over the past several months, Cambridge Analytica has been the subject of numerous unfounded accusations and, despite the Company’s efforts to correct the record, has been vilified for activities that are not only legal, but also widely accepted as a standard component of online advertising in both the political and commercial arenas....."

While playing spectator to CA LLCs woes and investigations, even local startups and developers (perhaps even major enterprises) in Africa require introspection considering the thriving tech ecosystem during those years, excitedly greatly reliant on the then well established platforms.

We do not sell data, we sell advertising. And we have not been accused of selling data in this case. In this case, an academic used data that Facebook users directly gave him access to, and passed it on to Cambridge Analytica, against our rules. We did not sell anyone anything, the data was passed from the users to the app developer/academic by the user granting permission. That said-we changed the ability of developers to have that kind of access by 2015, and as you can see, we have designed and implemented a whole host of privacy controls since then. In terms of believing whether your data is secure-given the number of Facebook users, and the amount of data we hold, and looking at the multiple global issues related to data-we, in truth, have first in class mechanisms for protecting user data, and we consistently learn and iterate from our mistakes. That said-as Mark said, we recognize that trust is built by actions, and once lost it must be built back up. Only you can decide what makes sense for you when you use (or decide not to use) Facebook or any of the thousands of websites, platforms, apps, services with which you undoubtedly interact every day.

The main business model for FB is advertisement. If you have ever advertised on the platform, you would understand the need to build profiles. So for example, if you are selling ladies handbags, and diapers, you would tell FB to show the bags to [ladies], in [Kenya], aged between [21 to 50]. If you cannot deliver to Turkana, you can say, [living in Nairobi, or Mombasa]. For the diapers, you would tell FB to show the advertisement to [ladies] between [22 and 40] living in suburban areas. This is the same for Google too. In my FB profile, I never see these types of adverts because FB already has a profile about me, but the ladies within my household see these adverts. Since you are probably billed per view, or per click, it is more value for the advertiser to TARGET the advertisement to the right audience, otherwise you will loose your advertising capital showing irrelevant advertisement to those in Turkana. I hope this helps.

I still think though some of the choices we make are not very *clearly* spelt out when we make them. For instance, I can understand the need to sync my contacts, but *not* my call & sms history! And this is especially so for those of use (most of us?) who use our phones for both personal & official business. My recommendation, have at least three settings clearly indicating what you would use them for, if at all! 1. Sync contacts 2. Sync Call records (***) 3. Sync SMS & Messages (***) As regards the photos this is what happen(s) / happened. Normally I would not give FB access to my photos.However, at some point I needed to upload a certain specific photo on to some FB markets that I participate in. Shortly as I was still in the market and as I was scrolling though my newsfeed I started seeing a number of family photos that I had taken earlier, already uploaded but kind of greyed out, with FB asking me whether I wanted to share them. That is very disconcerting! Again, if a user gives access to his photo library for a *single* photo, that should not mean *all* my photos are auto-uploaded to FB, then FB prompts me to share them... My recommendation would be to have at least two settings: 1. Upload a single photo 2. Auto- Upload *ALL* my photos And, I don't consider myself a *pro* FB user, it may very well be that indeed this is already covered so thanks for being our 'customer-care', appreciate Regards On Wed, Mar 28, 2018 at 11:39 AM, Ebele Okobi <ebeleokobi(a)fb.com> wrote: Hello! Answers below-for your first question, it’s VERY important to clarify that Facebook does not “pick up” your contacts. You have to expressly agree to upload your contacts. For example, I have never agreed to this, so my contacts have never been uploaded. If you change your mind about the permission you have given, or if you accidentally gave permission, please see below for how to opt back out. Note that this feature is “opt-in”, so express agreement is required for it to be happening. That is the same for the photographs, so can you please clarify your question? Are you saying that you granted permission for specific photos to be posted on your page, and now you want to delete them? Facebook does not automatically upload any photographs to your page. - Call and text history logging is part of an opt-in feature for people using Messenger or Facebook Lite on Android. This helps you find and stay connected with the people you care about, and provides you with a better experience across Facebook. People have to expressly agree to use this feature. If, at any time, they no longer wish to use this feature they can turn it off insettings, or here for Facebook Lite users, and all previously shared call and text history shared via that app is deleted.

I also noticed that when I allow FB contacts to my PhotoGallery on Android for purposes of being able to select pictures to upload, by default, it then would upload *all* new pictures taken and ask me whether I'd like to share them on my timeline.

This is not the case. Opt-in features in Facebook Lite and Messenger Call and text history logging is part of an opt-in feature for people using Messenger or Facebook Lite on Android.

While we receive certain permissions from Android, uploading this information has always been opt-in only. We introduced this feature for Android users a couple of years ago. Contact importers are fairly common among social apps and services as a way to more easily find the people you want to connect with. This was first introduced in Messenger in 2015, and later offered as an option in Facebook Lite, a lightweight version of Facebook for Android. How it works When you sign up for Messenger or Facebook Lite on Android, or log into Messenger on an Android device, you are given the option to continuously upload your contacts as well as your call and text history. For Messenger, you can either turn it on, choose ‘learn more’ or ‘not now’. On Facebook Lite, the options are to turn it on or ‘skip’. If you chose to turn this feature on, we will begin to continuously log this information, which can be downloaded at any time using the Download Your Information tool. If, at any point, you no longer wish to continuously upload this information, you can easily turn this feature off in your settings. You can also turn off continuous call and text history logging while keeping contact uploading enabled. You can also go to this page to see which contacts you have uploaded from Messenger, and you can delete all contact information you’ve uploaded from that app should you choose. We never sell this data, and this feature does not collect the content of your text messages or calls When this feature is enabled, uploading your contacts also allows us to use information like when a call or text was made or received. This feature does not collect the content of your calls or text messages. Your information is securely stored and we do not sell this information to third parties.
