An investigative reporter has changed his tech habits after what he has learned

Have you changed your use of social media after writing about some of the data practices of Facebook? Two years later, a lot of the criticism focuses on Facebook and Google — and Twitter is by far the social media platform I use the most. Once I started reporting deeply on Facebook, I deleted all Facebook-owned apps from my phone, including Instagram. I don’t know exactly who has access to the data those apps collect, but while meeting with confidential sources, I don’t want to risk that an app on my phone might be sending Facebook my location.
