Facebook weighs in on Home's privacy implications |
April 06, 2013
Facebook has posted a Q&A on its website about the privacy implications of its new Facebook Home software for Android phones, though it was unclear if it has addressed all the concerns raised.In a blog post Friday, the company said it had received "a few questions about how Home works with privacy." It then posed several questions to itself about Home and privacy and answered them.Home is essentially a software wrapper for Android smartphones that modifies the home screen, among other things, to put Facebook photos and messages front and center. It was announced on Thursday.The post on privacy starts out by noting that users don't have to use Home in order to use Facebook, and that users can turn off Home if they install it and then decide they don't want to use it.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
