FB paid some users $20 a month to access their data: Report
Facebook has been paying some users up to $20 a month since 2016 to install VPN app 'Facebook Research' to access their private data, according to a TechCrunch report. The program, that targets users aged 13-35 years through ads, reportedly accessed private messages, search history, and Amazon order history. Facebook said it'll remove the app's iOS version, the report added.
