Facebook愈整愈衰大家都知,近日更被外國傳媒踢爆,Facebook iOS app竟然連結至惡意跟蹤程式,追蹤用家一舉一動。最離譜的,Facebook竟然扮成Protect(保護)程式,誤導用家。
用家在Facebook的More Menu中,可以看到上圖Protect功能,按下後就會連結至iOS App Store,提示下載Onavo VPN程式。唯雖然VPN理論上保護用家的數據傳送,但同為Facebook擁有的Onavo,背後竟然會收集用家的數據,並會拿來進行分析。當中包括用家所有app和瀏覽的記錄,由於本身是VPN,所以用家就算關閉Facebook程式,有關數據仍然會全部被Facebook收集,與惡意跟蹤程式完全一樣。
雖然Onavo VPN有列明相關事項,但相信甚少用家會細閱有關使用條款:
To provide this layer of protection, Onavo uses a VPN to establish a secure connection to direct all of your network communications through Onavo’s servers. As part of this process, Onavo collects your mobile data traffic. This helps us improve and operate the Onavo service by analyzing your use of websites, apps and data. Because we’re part of Facebook, we also use this info to improve Facebook products and services, gain insights into the products and services people value, and build better experiences.
