Privacy violations despite their “policies”
Desperate for increased user numbers and revenue, Instagram (Meta, Facebook) has devolved into a major violator of user privacy. Despite their professing interest in “protecting your privacy” with settings that make you THINK they won’t, they override the Location tracking and in fact, track your movements and locations then push ads to your feed. They are effectively selling your location data to their advertisers. Also, Instagram will access your contacts in other Apps such as LinkedIn and Outlook even if you have settings set to block them from doing so. For people like me who keep their business life very separate from their personal life and social media, this is very easy to prove. Apple should penalize Instagram/Meta for these privacy violations but so far, crickets. I’m hoping a class action lawsuit will force Meta to change their ways, but most likely they will always find a way to get around any laws or penalties. If you allow Instagram on your device you should know that none of their settings should be interpreted to mean that Instagram will abide by them. They believe they have a right to your private information and to use that information for revenue generation or any other purpose they desire.
