As concerns over Facebook’s privacy issues mount, it’s been revealed that the social media site is also collecting the data of non-users.
According to Reuters, CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted under questioning that Facebook also collects “data of people who have not signed up for Facebook,” claiming the practice was done for security purposes.
It didn’t take long for both lawmakers and privacy advocates to criticize the collection practice, with many calling for Facebook to develop a way for non-users to find out what the company knows about them.
