Facebook’s New Privacy Tool Is a Data Landfill

Of the 1,081 apps and websites that have been sharing my “activity” with Facebook, Tinder is the chattiest. In the past 180 days, it has reported 685 of my “interactions” with its app to Facebook, according to Facebook’s new Off-Facebook Activity tool, which CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced in a company blog post this morning. The tool lets any Facebook user go into her settings and see a list of apps and websites that have shared her information with Facebook, organized by the most recent time they shared data, and paired with a number indicating how many “interactions” have been shared.
