Viber severed ties with Facebook for security reasons

The Dhaka Times Desk Viber, the world's most popular free and most secure communication medium, has severed all business ties with Facebook to protect its nearly 1 billion users.

That's why, apart from removing Facebook Connect, Facebook SDK and Giphy from their app, Viber will also suspend all kinds of ads on the Facebook network platform. Also, this social media Viber has started a movement to boycott the tech giant Facebook through the #StopHateForProfit campaign.

It should be noted that after the violent ongoing movement across the United States for the past few weeks, a group consisting of 6 organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League and the NAACP, said that advertisers should not advertise on Facebook for the entire month of July due to the failure to protect users from 'hate speech'. Also, there have been a number of cases of data mishandling, including the much-discussed Cambridge Analytica scandal, where the political consultancy was allegedly involved in the unethical harvesting of data on nearly 87 million Facebook users. Viber has taken steps to strengthen the #StopHateForProfit movement and cut all business ties with Facebook as the latest 'hate speech' issue came to Viber's attention.

Viber's CEO Jamel Agua told the media, "Facebook has shown an extreme failure to express their sense of responsibility, position and attitude considering the overall situation of the current world. From mishandling data and failing to protect the privacy of users' data in apps, to not taking the necessary steps to protect people from violence and dangerous quotes, Facebook has shown gross irresponsibility. We know the fact, and it is true, that some people have suffered because of the spread of violent content on Facebook, and therefore organizations need to take proper and clear steps."

Viber authorities expect to complete the removal of all Facebook touch points from the Viber app by July this year. However, it is also reported that all types of advertisements on Facebook will be suspended from now on.
