#2Is it just me, or do "secret" have negative connotation? Because for me it does, and I am really sad from journalist when they use "secret" or "secretly" in headlines, when it just mean internal, or just not disclosed. What is interesting that the article does not contain word secret, and they always use the word internal.

Is "secret" not one of the classifications for internal documents? "top secret", "secret", "confidential", "restricted". While this classification is usually used to classify access to documents of the state, it could also apply to internal documents in large organizations.

#4Interesting to see that Facebook, being big tech+data driven company, needs a year to gather such statistics.
I would imagine it to be almost real time there...

It's the headline, and "secret research" sounds sexier than "internal research," at least to me.

There's probably a TONNE of cleaning/reconciling/deduping that needs to go on if they are trying to connect cross-platform users (like WhatsApp and Facebook) - especially over historical data. Sure, maybe going forward refreshing these reports might be quick but don't underestimate the inertia of having to go through that pain of integrating the data for the first time.
Any analysis worth its salt will also need to go through rounds of sense-checking + checks for statistical robustness: this all takes time

#8I am happy that we have Snapchat and iMessage as competitors to the Facebook Apps. I very much dislike their business practices of sucking up all the data they can get their hands on e.g. during the acquisition of WhatsApp where they had to promise to European [1] regulators to not combine the user data with facebook‘s and then did it anyway.
Also sad that they were so successful in copying Snapchat’s story feature - it made Snapchat so unique. Now nobody is using Snapchat for it anymore and everybody is on IG instead.
All in all I know many people who really dislike FB and would leave it if they could, but the network effect keeps everybody locked in to WhatsApp at least in Europe/Germany.

I'm not aware of any private sector companies that have more than 2-3 formal "classification" markings, and they're usually more like "internal use only" and "confidential" rather than "secret". For particularly sensitive documents there would of course be additional restrictions, but I'd be surprised if there were companies using the marking "top secret" for that purpose...

Snapchat is not any better. Given their financials I am sure they are selling my data to anyone who is willing to pay for it.
