How to check which apps have access to your Facebook account and how to remove them!

We all know that Facebook is the next dinosaur right, and with the latest news about Cambridge Analytica data breach, is Facebook not waiting for the asteroid to strike in, but prefer to fly towards it. I mean Facebook pretend like they did not know what is going on, but when someone said one wrong word, then he gets blocked or sent into Facebook prison. But a company who spend millions to manipulate the masses get unnoticed??? That's a real.... YEAHHHH RIGHTTTT!!

What this story explains, is that companies are abusing the Facebook network for profit or to manipulate the masses. Remember how Facebook wanted to start a war against Fake news? What was funny in some way BTW, i mean, they wanted to fight or complain against fake news. But on the same time they share live footage from the Media, while it was proven in the past that they share fake news.

So the so call war against fake news is rubbish, Facebook is using double standards as there logic, and stand behind what they think is best, and not for humanity in total. Like when there is a shooting in a western country, then Facebook stand behind it, and creates flags and all can't of things.

But when there is a shooting in Syria, Africa or in a Asian country, then you don't hear Jack from Facebook. Look at Myanmar, people are dying there while we speak. Not to mention Africa. And the censoring is also crap, that's no freedom, it's more the illusion of Freedom! But we can all agree on one point, we all have friends, family members on business contacts on Facebook. And even if we know that the best choice to make, is to stop with Facebook, would that not be smart because that would also mean, to end some relationships with friends or older contacts.

There for we have to find a different way, and if you ask me, then that means we have to educate our friends and relatives about Steemit, and we all should learn from the past. And that past is, that its proven that companies are manipulating the public, by using our private information what they gathered threw apps on Facebook. That should be stopped Asap. Now go to settings and then click on the left on Apps!

Then click on, show all, below the apps. Then click on the cross next to the app, what you don't want to use. And the use you want to use put information on only you. Or else the apps what you installed, can go threw all your information or from your friends, because those apps can do what you can do, and that is look around.

So this is first step and the next step is to go further below on the screen, until you see 4 Grey boxes.
Click on the edit box what say, apps what others use.Then uncheck everything what you see there and click ok.

And that's it, on this way can apps not share information what you have, and then companies can't abuse them or use them to manipulate our opinions or votes. So we can't really completely defend ourselves from top secret agencies like the NSA or what ever. But at least we can defend our self from companies or politicians who want to use our information for their own reasons. Until Steemit go viral and Facebook will then be nothing more then a blast from the past! Thanks for reading!

I am happy in the meanwhile that Facebook deleted my account for me! I have this gut feeling that on a deeper level this whole Facebook scandal is just a harbinger of Steemit's soon to come global breakthrough. Much quicker than we expect. Just yesterday I accidentally came about a statement that said "that are simply no alternatives to Facebook". There are! And they come in light speed! :)
