It seems that even at work, you will no longer be able to escape from Facebook - after the company launched a new app, Workplace. The idea is that it’s like Facebook (complete with profiles, chats and News Feed), but used within workplaces (who pay Facebook to use it). It’s a bit different to ‘normal’ Facebook - you don’t log in with your normal account, but use a special work one, and there’s a News Feed and messaging for your company.
When it comes to privacy, Facebook really isn’t your friend - and even if you’re careful, you might be giving away more than you think.

News organisation Pro Publica has created a Chrome plug-in which reveals exactly what Facebook knows, in an easy-to-read format.
