Facebook keeps tracking where we are

Facebook admitted that it constantly collects information on the whereabouts of each of its users, whether they have activated the geocalizer, for security reasons and for advertising purposes.

Even if someone does not activate the location data, Facebook can still partially determine their location, thanks to information they provide through their activities and connections to our various services”, the group said, in a letter sent to two American senators on December 12th and was broadcast on Twitter Tuesday.

When people disable the geopolitical, the platform still keeps data, but there are especially IP addresses (insulting Internet connection) that betray users concerned about saving the secret.

In this case, however, Facebook specifys that it stops at the city level or the postal code, without trying to go any further, except for security reasons.

The Californian group collects personal data of all kinds, from approximately 2.2 billion of its daily users at least one of its platforms (Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, Facebook). / A T S/
