Understanding Operation Faceblock

Operation Faceblock - campaign to stop using Facebook initiated by friends from Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, England and the United States will take place on 11 April. That same day, Mark Zuckerberg - co-founder and CEO of Facebook will testify before Congress on data security.

The Faceblock event that took place on April 11 will boycott both Facebook and related applications, including: Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram. The purpose of this action is to oppose the unauthorized use of the company's 87 million Facebook user data named Cambridge Analytica.

The use of personal data without the owner's consent is a violation of a content signed by Facebook with the US Trade Commission - FTC (Federal Trade Commission) in 2011.

Operation Faceblock spokesperson Laura Ullman said this 24-hour boycott aimed at sending social networks a powerful privacy message of user data. In addition, participants wrote a letter to Zuckerberg and the US government to demand responsibility for managing the platform and securing proprietary data protection and management companies.
