Dive summary:
- Facebook released a Q&A document to help clear up any privacy concerns that users may have over the new mobile social network skin, Home, that will be launching on a HTC phone.
- According to Facebook, Home will have the same privacy settings as the Facebook account on other devices and will not collect any information on user's activity in other apps.
- Facebook did admit, however, that Home will collect information about which apps show notifications to users, but it will not collect the content of the notification itself.
From the article:
"Within hours of Mark Zuckerberg's announcement, some, like Gigaom's Om Malik, speculated that Facebook would be able to collect even more information about Facebook users because it would now have easy access to what apps people use, what phone calls they make, and who they chat via Facebook 'chat heads.'"
