Research by three different organizations has found that Facebook is busy collecting highly sensitive and personal data about women and using it for advertising.
According to research by The Mark and the Center for Investigative Reporting by the US-based Royle, Facebook uses a tool to find out about abortion methods and treatments used by women. In addition to search, it is also collecting important data.
According to the report, Facebook is also collecting data through Metapixel on women who are suffering from pregnancy complications or who are not pregnant and want children.
The report does not use the word “women”, but says Facebook has been collecting data from people searching for content on abortion and complications related to abortion or non-abortion.
According to the report, under the ‘Metapixel’ tool, Facebook collects the data of such people and provides it to the companies and especially to the clinics which provide services for abortion and other complications related to pregnancy.
The report says that the dangerous thing is that the clinics that Facebook is providing the data to are not registered with the health department but are being run by conservative organizations that oppose abortion. ۔
The report does not specify in which countries Facebook is collecting such data, but the report indicates that immediate investigative agencies have only investigated the United States.
After the investigation, investigators contacted a spokesman for Facebook’s owner, Meta, who denied the allegations, saying the company did not act in accordance with its rules and there was no truth in such reports.
The report states that under the ‘Metapixel’ tool or feature, Facebook gives companies or organizations access to such features and data, which enables them to know who has accessed their services.
According to the report, Facebook searches the Facebook page of Facebook In-Clinics for those looking for complications related to pregnancy, which is being run illegally under the auspices of conservative organizations to discourage abortion.
The report states that Facebook later gives the management of the clinics access to the data, so that the administrators can know which people visited their page and what help they need.
The report says that after providing people’s search history and other information to the clinics, Facebook delivers targeted advertisements for the same clinics to those who are looking for ways to access the clinics.
The latest report on Facebook is being seen as a new earthquake, which is likely to create more hatred against the world’s largest website.
