Facebook and Google acting like National Security Agency(NSA).
Facebook and Google probably know more about you than anyone else, because you've spent the past few years essentially telling them every little thing about your existence.
The social network has a particularly large stake in your life, because most users seem to think nothing of giving Mark Zuckerberg all their photos, letting him know what they're interested in and basically handing over all manner of info which would once have been considered private.
Once you've realised that rather grim fact, you might want to think about finding out what Facebook actually knows about you.
To make this task easier, the website ProPublica has released an app called "What Facebook Thinks You Like", which works within Google's internet browser Chrome. Just follow the link in the previous sentence to install it.
"Facebook has a particularly comprehensive set of dossiers on its more than 2 billion members," the website wrote.
"Every time a Facebook member likes a post, tags a photo, updates their favourite movies in their profile, posts a comment about a politician, or changes their relationship status, Facebook logs it.
"When they browse the Web, Facebook collects information about pages they visit that contain Facebook sharing buttons. When they use Instagram or WhatsApp on their phone, which are both owned by Facebook, they contribute more data to Facebook's dossier."
