FACEBOOK LAUNCHES NEW APP

Facebook Wants to Pay You to Answer Social Media Questions

Facebook has launched an app called ‘Viewpoints’ that claims to be a “market research app”. that will pay people for participating in its surveys, tasks and research aimed at gathering insights from users to improve its use insights from the app to improve its products including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Portal, and Oculus.Once you set up a Facebook Viewpoints account, you will be invited to join programmes.Before each programme, It will explain what information will be collected, how it will be used and how many points you will receive for completing the programme.It will let you know how many points you need in order to receive a payment, and every time you reach that amount of points, you will receive a payment sent directly to your PayPal account.

“When you join Facebook Viewpoints, we’ll ask for information like your name, email address, country of residence, date of birth and gender. We may ask you to share additional information, like your location, to qualify you for individual programmes,” Facebook Product Manager Erez Naveh says that the information collected from this survey will help the company build products to “limit the negative impacts of social media and enhance the benefits.” Once signed up, you’ll receive invites to join programs. The first available program is a survey that investigates how social media affects your well-being. The stated goal is to “build better products that aim to limit the negative impacts of social media and enhance the benefits.”It also says it will let you know what information it’s collecting, how it will be used, and how many points you’ll earn for completing the program. The well-being survey, for instance, takes 15 minutes to complete and earns you 1,000 points, which equates to five bucks.

Features to be noted in action

Additional information such as location will also be asked to ensure whether one is eligible for the program. Then there’s the usual Facebook boilerplate text about privacy stating, “We won’t sell your information from this app to third parties. We also won’t publicly share your Facebook Viewpoints activity on Facebook or on other accounts you’ve linked without your permission.” But hey, it’s Facebook which doesn’t have the best track record in this area. It also says that users can end their participation at any time.

Before Viewpoints, Facebook had 'Study' that paid users for providing their app usage data. The social media giant has said that the information will not be used to target ads and neither will it be shared with third-party companies. Before Study, there was 'Facebook Research' that paid 13-17-year-old teenagers around $20 to install a VPN on their smart phones, which would allow Facebook to get complete access to their phone's data. However, the social media giant pulled the app down after controversy. The company says it won’t sell your Viewpoints information to third parties or publicly share your activity without your permission, but keep in mind the company doesn’t have great track record with keeping your data private.

The app is available to download from your respective app store . It is meant for users who are 18 years and older in the US. It said that it will provide additional ways for people to register and then eventually expand to new countries.
