New York-Sana
The social networking platform company on the Internet, Facebook, revealed that the American police in Los Angeles had spied on users, asking them to stop these practices that take place through fabricated accounts.
Facebook was forced to issue this statement after the British Guardian newspaper revealed dealings between the American city police and a technology company with the aim of analyzing user data under the pretext of solving the secrets of crimes.
And the BBC quoted Facebook Vice President Roy Austin as saying that “LAPD policies are not limited to citing Facebook as an example of social media that advises officers to create fake accounts on it, but rather these policies allow officers to use fake accounts to conduct online investigations. “.
And documents submitted by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University revealed that in 2019 the Los Angeles police used software produced by the technology company (Voyager Labs) to collect data from social media.
