The tech giant said people will also be shown what apps they use and what data those apps may have gathered.
Facebook has additionally suspended a data analytics firm called Cubeyou, ahead of an investigation.
The
tech giant will look into into whether Cubeyou collected data for
academic purposes and then used it commercially, following a partnership
with Cambridge University in the UK.

On its website, data firm Cubeyou describes itself has having "all the best consumer data sources in one place".

"Identify consumers not only by their demographics or consumption habits but by leveraging the whole spectrum of their personalities, interests and passions," it says.

Wonder how deep the rabbit hole goes, actually. And how alien overmind Zucc will respond.

Id be happy if facebook when down in flames, would cut one head off the fake news train.

I wouldn't say it's too big to fail but that it's got too many people to totally die without a fight

It wont, people will keep using it, the vast majority of folks don't care

Imagine of facebook just went down suddenly. I imagine it would be quite chaotic. It surely would be interesting.

Is this going to be like the Gamergate of data companies where people are drawing string-and-pin maps of all the connections to CA?
