A 14-year-old discovered that users could effectively eavesdrop on their contacts using Apple's FaceTime app. You were also expected to be able to recite the unofficial school rules including "no snitching" and "what happens on tour, stays on tour". Users have been paid up to US$20 (NZ$30) a month to sell their private data by installing an iOS or Android "Facebook Research" app. However what Facebook appears to have done is harness that open access to build a data sucking app, in direct violation of the enterprise agreement. So in China rather than "what happens on tour, stays on tour" it's a matter of "what happens on tour, stays on file".
