Facebook Lacks Information on Collected User Data, Including How It Is Used: Leaked Document Shows

Facebook is reportedly unable to identify where most of its user data is located, or how it is used, after it is collected, according to a leaked internal document penned by privacy engineers at Facebook last year. The team, which builds and maintains Facebook's advertisement system — the heart of the company's business model, has flagged “data lineage” issues with how user data is handled. The report raises questions of whether Facebook will be able to comply with inbound privacy regulations from various regions around the world. According to a leaked 2021 report procured by Motherboard, the privacy engineers working on Facebook's Ad and Business Product attempted to highlight issues with handling of personal data at the company and called for changes to the existing system. The engineers warn that the company has “built systems with open borders”, using the analogy of pouring a bottle of ink (representing third party data, first party data and other sensitive information) in a lake (Facebook's open data systems) — then trying to put the ink back into the bottle.
