Commentary: Technology reshapes modern ideas about loneliness
(Karly Domb Sadof | AP file photo) This Feb. 19, 2014, file photo shows the Facebook app icon on an iPhone in New York. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that several phone apps are sending sensitive user data to Facebook, including health information, without users’ consent. The report says an analytics tool called “App Events” allows app developers to record user activity and report it back to Facebook, even if the user isn’t on Facebook. Until recently, missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could phone their families only on Christmas and Mother’s Day. That policy has changed. Now they can phone, video-chat or text home weekly.
