Leaked documents like confession from Facebook
Editor's Note: Nearly 7,000 pages of confidential Facebook documents were recently leaked, covering how Facebook used user data as a bargaining chip to cement its dominance, how it plans to monitor the location of Android users, and how it controls competitors and even kills them before incubation. Beijing News comments:
Some of the leaked documents, marked as highly classified, date from Facebook's rapid rise from 2011 to 2015. Facebook is reportedly doing whatever it can do to prevent the files from spreading on the internet, but in the age of social media, such efforts are to no avail. These documents, which were partially released a year ago, have now become a Facebook version of WikiLeaks and are being dissected by Facebook critics around the world.
The documents show Facebook treats user data as an "asset" that it can use to blackmail and pressure its partners, and once such kind of partnership breaks, it will prevent these companies from continuing to access its data information.
