Facebook and Instagram have ended third party data access and I can’t say I am sad…
So, if you live under a rock, or don’t use social media, then you may not know that Facebook has gotten into a lot of trouble (and the husband and I have just had a debate over the use off “got” or “gotten” in this sentence, I am still not sure!) over the use of […]
