Lost Circles – Visualize the hidden structure of your Facebook network
lostcircles.comServer seems down, but I guess it refers to this? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lost-circles-socia...
I did something similar many years ago, exporting my Facebook data and plotting a simple force-directed graph [1] of my network, it was quite interesting how meaningful groups and connections emerge: https://wechoosethemoon.es/assets/img/posts/colores.png

Very interesting! This tool only seems to collect the profile picture and provide a basic laggy interface to view it. Likely the tool you used previously for this dones't work thanks to API Facebook changes.
Buy it for $1.99 a year...
So it's a bunch of EU Germans receiving payment for downloading your entire social graph and click-jacking your facebook session (this looks to be a chrome extension that would have access to everything, not something that uses even the marginally-permissioned oauth API).
1. Where is the GDPR privacy notice?
2. In light of all the cambridge analytica fallout, where is ANY privacy notice?
can't upvote this enough!! I half expected this to be a psychological experiment to see if users use something like this after the Cambridge Analytica fallout
True I bought this as a one off since this was the only tool I found to gather the data easily.
The one time I don't read comments first :(
I see that Cambridge Analytica figured out their rebranding strategy.
Indeed...although from testing this the only thing they gather are the names and mutuals of your facebook friends with profile pictures.
