Facebook Apps
Dixie Schlatter
Facebook has very messy and strange policy about connecting with external apps to send leads. becouse of that there can be many wierd situations. i have researched this issue for several days already and here is what i have found: (i decided to share and maybe help others cut theyr research time and save some time and energy)
Conclusion. Try removing your app connection to facebook from all these places and also disconnect your app from facebook from inside your app and than connect again fresh and test. It should work, maybe please facebook make it more simple and less crazy.
I've been trying to block the Facebook app on mobile phones and allow Facebook Messenger by using Layer 7 and Content filtering rules but unfortunately the Facebook app still goes through however, it is already blocked on the web browser. Facebook Messenger app is also blocked but I want it to be allowed through.
If you still want to persist in the overwhelming odds of failure, do a packet capture on port 53, reboot the devices, and then access the two different systems. Examine what DNS entries that are requested.
Hi. I've already denied Social web & photo sharing -> Facebook in Layer 7 and also Social Networking on Content Blocking. But only the web browser based and Messenger apps get blocked. The Facebook app still goes through these filters. Any suggestions?
To achieve this level of granular control you want you will struggle on the Meraki for the reasons previously outlined. You would need a firewall that supports HTTPS inspection, which basically decrypts the traffic to be able to differentiate between facebook messenger and regular Facebook.
Once you have configured the recommended rules the QUIC traffic will get blocked by the Firewall, the app will then fall back to using traditional TLS/SSL which will be blocked by the Meraki content filtering rules.
@Steven9761: Some third party apps that come pre-installed on our mobile devices such as Facebook are part of the software, and cannot be uninstalled. As you have discovered you can disable them to prevent them from working in the background, so they shouldn't feel too intrusive. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Initially limited to Harvard, Facebook expanded to include students at other elite US universities, before branching out to all universities and high schools in the US and Canada. In 2006, it was finally decided to open the site up to the general public.- Advertisement - Over the years Facebook has expanded to include multimedia content and sharing content initially posted by others on Facebook or elsewhere. All stuff that seems rudimentary to us now, but at the time were pioneering innovations from Facebook and other members of that first post-MySpace wave of social networks.
It is around these purported interests that Facebook segments its audiences for its core revenue generator: advertising. The sheer number of Facebook users around the world means that the app offers one of the most comprehensive and diverse advertising audiences of the digital age.

So in addition to monitoring your profile privacy settings on Facebook, you should also consider deleting older apps and installing newer versions. Here is an example of the data access from an older YouTube app and then the newer YouTube app. Much less personal information is available, and much less is required for the app to work.
To install the Facebook app from our App Store, just click "install now" on the app's main page. If you are not seeing this button, you likely lack the required permissions to add apps to your workspace. In this case, you'll need to reach out to a teammate to give you the full permissions ?
I am not saying that this particular app is malicious, but no quiz or app should need access to this level of detail. They may or may not promise in the user agreement not to store it, use it, or sell it, but either way you have lost control of your data and associated privacy. It is much better for apps not to ask for it in the first place.
As a consumer, how do you tell the difference between fun and potentially damaging? Look closely at what the app is asking for, and think about the potential risk of that data. Consumers are the big target of these apps, and where security and privacy are concerned, people are always the weakest link. This same info could be used to guess passwords, security questions, or even impersonate someone for a bit of live social engineering, all of which have serious business implications.

I was sick of the updates, I was sick of the memory drain and I was sick of its infiltration into my phonebook.
I was also sick of having to buy a new smartphone every two years to keep up with the app's increasing strain on my processor - waste and environmental issues as important as they are to me, I find it ridiculous to do so.
Facebook are now looking to increase their grip on global communications data by making it necessary to download the separate Messaging app; they're getting rid of the Messaging function on the regular app soon in the name of a more streamlined app and better usability.
Facebook for me on a personal level is a social pastime. If I really look at the way I use it in my free time, I can't justify the amount of time I spend on it, the memory it uses and the data charges I incur (despite having a more than reasonable plan). Facebook have retained their market hold by insisting to the world that their apps are a modern necessity: as important and integral to our modern lives as electricity.
It's not for anyone to comment on another person's social network usage. The way we communicate with one another is different for everybody. What should perhaps be said more however, is that failing to plug-in to a network of cyclical background noise won't kill anyone. In fact, it might even improve the relationships we have with one another.
Do you know what? Since I did, my battery life has improved tenfold, I've not missed out on anything (you can still access Facebook via mobileweb - for now) and as for the Messaging app...well, what's that for when I still have WhatsApp, Twitter DMs, Instagram, Snapchat and the good old SMS?
Facebook Inc. is trying to change that. On Thursday, Facebook is beginning to roll out its App Center to its nearly 1 billion users, so they can find games and other applications with social components more easily.
The App Center, available on Facebook's website and on Apple and Android mobile devices, will recommend apps to users based on their interests, the types of apps their friends like, or the apps they have liked in the past.
Many people are introduced to Facebook apps in the form of sometimes-annoying requests from their friends for poker partners, Scrabble buddies or neighbors on virtual farms. Those requests haven't necessarily matched a user's specific interests.
The new App Center will initially feature about 600 Facebook apps, mostly games, reviewed by the company to meet its quality standards. Games, such as Zynga's "CityVille" and Electronic Arts' "The Sims," are the most popular types of apps on Facebook.
But the company is betting that by personalizing recommendations to users, people will find new types of applications beyond games, along with games that are more interesting to them. There are all sorts of social apps that use Facebook, from music-listening services such as Spotify to what-you-just-ate tools such as Foodspotting.
"We spend all day, every day building a platform (so that) great social games and apps can exist," said Matt Wyndowe, product manager for apps and games at Facebook. But a common question has long been where to find them. "Up until now, we haven't had a great answer to that question."
Facebook said that on mobile devices, the App Center won't compete with other app stores, such as Apple's or Google's. Rather, the App Center will send users to those other stores to download the programs. People can also get mobile apps from their regular computers by using a feature called "send to mobile."
Among the roughly 600 applications included in the App Center at launch will be the Nike Plus GPS running app, which lets users track their runs and broadcast it to their Facebook feed. Ricky Engelberg, whose title at Nike is experience director at digital sport, said having a place where apps are showcased will "let more people be part of the Nike Plus community."
Did you know that you can "rageshake" your phone to create a bug report in most Meta apps? If youdid, have you ever wondered what happened after you hit submit? Inthis episode's interview, Pascal talks to Jon about App Health andhow his team ensures that despite thousands of engineers shippingcode every day, the apps remain reliable and fast.
Brought to you by Meta. In addition to remaining active in the open source community and conference circuit, this podcast offers another channel that allows us to highlight the technical work of our engineers who will discuss everything from low-level frameworks to end-user features. Throughout the podcast, Meta engineer Pascal Hartig (@passy) will interview developers in the company.
If a user clicks Later, the user can watch media without logging into Facebook. The login prompt won't re-appear, but the user can log in at any time by clicking the Login button at the bottom of the app.
First you must set up a Facebook app to get the app ID and client token. Note that the app name you choose will be visible when users log in via their computer browsers, so choose a name (usually your Fire TV app's name) that you want users to see.
