NYT:  FB gave MSFT, AMZN, Spotify, & others much more user data than previously disclosed  
By Gabriel J.X. Dance, Michael LaForgia and Nicholas Confessore

For years, Facebook gave some of the world’s largest technology companies more intrusive access to users’ personal 
data than it has disclosed, effectively exempting those business partners from its usual privacy rules, according to 
internal records and interviews.

The special arrangements are detailed in hundreds of pages of Facebook documents obtained by The New York Times. The 
records, generated in 2017 by the company’s internal system for tracking partnerships, provide the most complete 
picture yet of the social network’s data-sharing practices. They also underscore how personal data has become the 
most prized commodity of the digital age, traded on a vast scale by some of the most powerful companies in Silicon 
Valley and beyond.
