I was curious internally, what’re the policies for looking at user data? eg can engineers see who searched them on LinkedIn? Can they read messages? How is the policy enforced?

I know google/fb have very strong no tolerance policies. Wanted to know how it is different at different companies.

      Going by OP's username, pretty sure this post is a homework to answer one of the several investigations into FB's privacy practices...

      OP Manager was like "I mean how do others even do it"

      And OP like "I'll check and get back to you on that one"

      And here we are....

    I am really curious what the definition of a strong no tolerance policy means at fb.

    We have two data warehouses, one anonymized for metrics, the other one with real customer data (on the b2b side) that requires authorization to access. Everything is logged. On the consumer side I'm not too sure but I assume it's about the same, we're operating like we were an European business so gdpr is enforced across-the-board
