Facebook caught collecting call and text data from Android users

Facebook on Sunday denied collecting information from Android users without permission following multiple reports that it has been logging text messages and call data.

After the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal, many Facebook users started downloading their archived data files, or a copy of what the social network knows about them. Some are finding concerning information, including their contacts, SMS data, and call history. The troubling behavior was first revealed by Dylan McKay, a software developer from New Zealand who wrote on Twitter last week that Facebook was collecting more of his data than expected.(Daily Dot)
