Facebook announced this week it had made its first outright ban of an app in the company-wide audit it’s been working on since the Cambridge Analytica scandal earlier this year. The app in question had apparently been setting off red flags since April.
Ime Archibong, Facebook‘s VP of product partnerships, revealed Facebook banned an app called “myPersonality,” which hadn’t been active since 2012. According to him, the app was banned “for failing to agree to our request to audit and because it’s clear that they shared information with researchers as well as companies with only limited protections in place.” The app may have leaked the personal data of up to 4 million people, and Archibong said the company was reaching out to alert those people of the issue.
