Thanks Marco, I am frustrated because I needed it for my work ... down on one's luck. But it's weird because it should work on my own profile Here's Toulouse, Best regards Karen

Hi,

I do not have a Facebook account so I am not really sure what you would see but in the blog it says:

You’ll still be able to generate an analysis of most of your own activity on Facebook, but you won’t have access to any information about your friends (except their names) unless they’ve also authorized our Facebook app. So in most cases, we won’t have enough data to generate a meaningful friend network graph, or to compute statistics about location, age, marital status, or other personal characteristics of your group of Facebook friends.

I suppose that this means that you can see when you post and what you speak about but you will also have problems getting an interesting friendship graph, because the algorithm would need the links (friendships) among your friends. Same goes for location, age etc. So, I think that the post suggests that the output will be very limited, because much of it depends on data you will not have access to anymore.

Basically, it will not work anymore unless all of your friends have authorised the Facebook app.

Best wishes from Aberdeen,

Marco

Thanks Marco but as i undestand (and it's difficult because I'm french and my english is just horrible), The privacy protect concerns only facebook profiles of friends or other people but not mine. Now I'm connected with my profile and want to analyse my datas. Do you think that it is the same problem enhanced by the blog post or not?

Hi Karen,

Facebook introduced a new system to protect privacy. This blocks much of the data that Facebook Report needs. See this blog post. I guess that it stopped working...

Cheers,

Marco
