VIDEO: DO NOT TRUST FACEBOOK, HERE IS WHY...

Facebook has become a behemoth of social networking. In June 2017 there were over two billion active users. Facebook began as a small project at Harvard College between Mark Zuckerberg and friends, it has grown into one of the world’s largest technology companies. Of course, their major stumbling block has always been user privacy and how they use your data.

Despite some surface changes, Facebook still has a problem with respecting user's privacy and protecting your data. 

Facebook cloned Snapchat and Instagram Stories was a direct response to the competition that the ephemeral messaging app posed. Stories were a rousing success, far outstripping the reach of Snapchat’s own user base, but how did Facebook know their approach was working?

Facebook's main source of revenue comes directly from advertising, they even operate their own ad-serving platform. By encouraging users to post ever more information about their lives, Facebook has a trove of data that allows them to target ads to those most likely to click.

As your Newsfeed overflows with videos, news, and political opinions, it may seem hard to recall Facebook’s original goal was to connect you with your friends. By combining your social network and other personal information, Facebook always has a suggestion ready to go. 

In the video below you get to see more reasons why not to trust Facebook when it comes to the things, you see on your timeline.
