Facebook Adds Language to Make Anti-Surveillance Policy More 'Explicit'

Developers may not use Facebook or Instagram data for surveillance tools under language added Monday to the social sites’ platform policies, Facebook said in a post. “Our goal is to make our policy explicit,” the company said. “Over the past several months we have taken enforcement action against developers who created and marketed tools meant for surveillance, in violation of our existing policies; we want to be sure everyone understands the underlying policy and how to comply.”
