facebook数据_Facebook的“下载数据”功能遗漏了很多

facebook数据

Facebook lets you download a ZIP file with all of your data—in theory. Turns out a lot of information isn’t included.

从理论上讲，Facebook可让您下载包含所有数据的ZIP文件。事实证明，其中不包含很多信息。

Among the information not included:

在未包括的信息中：

information Facebook collects about your browsing history
Facebook收集的有关您的浏览历史的信息
information Facebook collects about the apps you visit and your activity within those apps
Facebook收集的有关您访问的应用程序以及这些应用程序中的活动的信息
the advertisers who uploaded your contact information to Facebook more than two months earlier
两个月前将您的联系信息上传到Facebook的广告商
ads that you interacted with more than two months prior
与您互动超过两个月的广告

A lot of people have downloaded their ZIP file only to be shocked at how extensive it is—the Facebook Android app was logging who people called and texted, for example.

许多人下载了ZIP文件后，才被它的庞大程度所震惊-例如，Facebook Android应用程序正在记录人们给谁打电话和发短信的信息。

Creepy as it is, though, this is just the tip of the iceberg, because the ZIP file doesn’t reveal anything about the hidden user data that enables targeted ads. This is understandable on one level: Facebook’s entire business model rests on serving up targeted ads better than anyone else, and revealing too much about how that works would compromise that advantage. But users are left seeing only a fraction of the information Facebook has on them.

不过，这真是令人毛骨悚然，这只是冰山一角，因为ZIP文件不会显示有关启用目标广告的隐藏用户数据的任何信息。这在一个层面上是可以理解的：Facebook的整个商业模式都依赖于比其他任何人都更好地提供目标广告，并且过多地透露其工作方式会损害这一优势。但是用户只能看到Facebook掌握的信息的一小部分。
