O Facebook today announced that it will expand its rewards program, which will reward developers who encounter vulnerabilities in the platform, to also include third-party applications that abuse users' data usage.
According to Ime Archibong, vice president of Facebook product partnerships, the platform will allow anyone to demonstrate to inform about tools that expose personal information.
"Facebook will expand its bug rewards program so that people can also report to us if they find data misuse by third party apps, Ime Archibong."
The social network will pay up to US $ 100 thousand a user who denounces applications that misuse user data. Before, the initiative was only for threats that could affect the security of the social network itself.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised last week that he would audit all applications on the social network and limit how much information developers can access.
