Facebook and Huawei share data raising concern that this week will end cooperation
According to the "New York Times" report, this situation was disclosed for the first time last weekend. Considering that the U.S. government has long been worried about national security, Facebook's newly disclosed data deal with these companies has caused some people's doubts in Congress.
'Facebook provided Chinese equipment manufacturers such as Huawei and TCL with access to the Facebook API. The news raised concerns that it is reasonable. I look forward to learning more about how Facebook ensures that their user information will not be sent.'
Earlier in the day, the US Senate Commerce Committee wrote a letter to Facebook about the broader issues related to these manufacturers and questioned Facebook’s assertion that shared data was not misused.
Facebook denies that these relationships are privacy scandals, and emphasizes that the company has imposed strict restrictions on the integration of such devices.
Facebook said that these integrations are very different from the market APIs - their goal is to recreate Facebook-like experiences on these devices, and they are strictly controlled.
Facebook told the New York Times that although the partnership between the two companies has continued for many years, Facebook will end its relationship with Huawei before the end of the week.
