Facebook Messenger
Claim:  Use of the Facebook Messenger app requires user acceptance of many privacy-violating conditions.  MIXTURE.  In mid-2014 Facebook rolled out the Facebook Messenger app, a standalone version of that social network's instant chat feature which users accessed separately on their mobile devices (i.e., without launching the full Facebook app). That rollout prompted renewed interest in a December 2013 article by Sam Fiorella (circulated widely in August 2014) warned potential Facebook Messenger users that the app's Terms of Service (TOS) "requires the acceptance of an alarming amount of personal data and direct control over your mobile device." As the Washington Post noted, however, many of these permission requests are neither uncommon nor unreasonable. According to Facebook themselves, "the concerns about its Messenger app are overblown and based on misinformation."
