Re: Facebook Pay
#12I read the entire article, but they don’t mention the details of how they’re going to make all your purchase history available to advertisers, and how they’re going to use this to track you around the internet even better to spam you with more ads of things you just bought. Maybe I just missed these details though…
From the "Security and Protection" sub page[1].
> What you buy is your business. Your transactions are confidential—and aren't shared to your Newsfeed—unless you choose to share them.
So yeah. Confidentiality is defined as "not shared on your Newsfeed". Safe to assume Facebook is going to milk this data for all it's worth.
There are also some other whoppers:
> If there is an unauthorized Facebook Pay transaction on your account, customer support is always ready to help. Reach out via email 24 hours a day.
All I can say is: I'll believe it when I see it.

They promise they won't force-publish your payments to your news feed. So generous!

... with a canned response saying "sorry, nothing we can do!"
From the FAQ:
> Is there Purchase Protection for online shopping?
> Purchases made through third-party sites, local pickups, Messenger transactions, or through other messaging services don't qualify for Purchase Protection. Learn more about how Purchase Protection works on Facebook.
Re: Facebook Pay
#15The small print is scary, at least compared to a service like PayPal. There's absolutely no consumer protection unless you're actually buying something from Facebook themselves, and for any kind of returns or refunds the advice given is "contact your bank".
Yikes.

Only long enough for an accidental-on-purpose bug to expose them anyway. Either that, or a new setting that defaults to on.
Re: Facebook Pay
#17I can’t think of another company I’d want less to know my transaction and purchase history than FB/Meta. What happened to Zuckerberg’s shift to “video” or are they truly throwing anything and everything at the wall now?

Re: Facebook Pay
#19I guess they've reached Google-levels of product management when their payment system used across 4 products is named after only one of them. Another Hangouts in the making.
Re: Facebook Pay
#20Seems like a smart move seeing as the marketplace feature on FB is actually great.
It's not great, it just has the most users, so it's better just due to the network effect. From a usability standpoint it sucks.
