It’s been said that such companies can read, delete and compose messages of such users due to which many people now concerning over this way of doing business.

However, Facebook has been entered into this data sharing agreement with more than 150 organizations, and according to this agreement, Facebook will attract new users on their platform and in return other companies will be able to promote their product to such users.
