Facebook Sells Users' Private Messages To Netflix For Over $100 Million by DrMB: 1:11pm On Apr 02
A court document alleges that Netflix and Facebook engaged in a data-sharing agreement. The document claims Facebook provided Netflix with access to some level of user information, potentially including private messages, in exchange for Netflix data. In addition, the video streaming platform allegedly paid over $100 million to Facebook.

The filing details a timeline of events, including:

2011:

Netflix announces integration with Facebook for international data sharing. The document also suggests Netflix lobbied for similar permissions in the US.

2013:

Netflix reportedly began using Facebook's "Extended API" which may have included access to private messages through an "Inbox API." In exchange, Netflix would provide Facebook with user interaction reports.

August 2013:

Facebook allegedly granted Netflix access to a private API ('Titan API') that allowed them to see information about users' friends, potentially including those from outside Facebook Messenger.

2011-2019:

The filing suggests a close relationship between the companies for nearly a decade, potentially influenced by the presence of Netflix's CEO on Facebook's board during that time.

Neflix Advertising spending on Facebook

The report alleges that Netflix also ramped up its advertising efforts on Facebook. The document claims that Netflix's spending on Facebook advertising grew significantly, reaching an estimated $150 million annually by early 2019.

Who saves their confidential information on Facebook?

I will only be worried if I hear that Gmail sold my login passwords on their Password Manager.
