 Facebook does not pass exactly the best season. The Analytica scandal brought with it DeleteFacebook #, and thousands of people in social networks announce their intention to delete their account forever.

Mark Zuckerberg has once again asked for forgiveness, this time after it has spiked videos that users have never uploaded to the site where Facebook has stolen them from their devices. It all began last week, when New York magazine published the story. 

 In the past, Facebook allows you to record videos directly from your browser and publish them on a knowledge wall. Interestingly, when a user recorded a video and did not decide to publish it, Facebook automatically stole it and stored it in its database. 

 The Facebook user realized this practice when he used the function that allows him to download all the contents of his profile. In the file he uploaded, videos he never posted were found on his contacts' calendars.


 With this news, the idea was reinforced that the social network stores a lot of data about its users without their knowledge. In the case of the Social Network Instagram owned by Facebook, it seems that they are already taking action to prevent these scandals, which reduces the number of calls per user and time to their API from 5,000 to 200.

Facebook is not perfect as we all know everything has flaws. Find me another site that brings together friends from long ago out of the long reach of this platform. Entertainment at it's best and it is the web that connects you to everything. World wide as fast as you can type.
