Last month we revealed how tax preparation sites were sending users' financial data to Facebook.

Now lawmakers including Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are raising alarms: https://t.co/hqfSRLEygE

[The Markup @themarkup]

We’re not talking just names and email addresses being sent to Facebook.

The personal information @varlogsimon, @angiewaller, and @colinlecher found included:
• Income
• Filing Status
• Refund amount
• Health savings account usage
• Dependents’ college scholarship amount

[Angie Waller @angiewaller]

NEW: from @varlogsimon, @colinlecher and me. We found that if you file taxes online, your detailed financial data might have gone to Facebook.

This report was made possible by people who volunteer their data through @MozillaRally 🙏

1.3 million letters in the mail telling people their health data may have improperly gone to Facebook — that's great work from @varlogsimon @ToddFeathers @angiewaller @suryamattu https://t.co/jEZvGC8VRr

[The Markup @themarkup]

After criticism for blocking abortion pill posts, Facebook said it doesn’t allow medication sales.

Yet the company is allowing ads for a medically unapproved “abortion pill reversal” procedure.

The latest from @lkirchner, @tenuous, @angiewaller. https://t.co/CjnnbQDvJ1
