周一，国际隐私组织(privacy international)的研究人员发表了一份报告，发现两个周期跟踪应用程序mia fem和maya向这家社交媒体巨头发送了有关用户健康状况的数据。

When Maya asks you to enter how you feel and offers suggestions of symptoms you might have — suggestions like blood pressure, swelling or acne — one would hope this data would be treated with extra care,” the study said.

But no, that information is shared with Facebook.

”研究说：当Maya让你输入你的感受，并提供你可能有的症状的建议，比如血压、肿胀或痤疮，人们希望这些数据能得到额外的处理。

”但事实上，这些信息是与Facebook共享的。

”Both Maya and MIA Fem have sent information on users’ contraception, the timing of their periods, symptoms during cycles and even the last time they had sex, to Facebook through the social media giant’s Software Development Kit, which helps the site target ads, according to the study.

研究显示，Maya和 MIA Fem 都通过社交媒体巨头的软件开发工具包(software development kit)向Facebook发送了用户避孕、月经时间、周期症状甚至上一次做爱的信息，该工具包有助于该网站瞄准广告。

But Maya’s parent company, Plackal Tech, has denied that any personally identifiable or medical data gets funneled to Facebook.

但Maya的母公司Plackal Tech否认有任何个人身份或医疗数据被导入Facebook。

MIA Fem — which has more than 1 million users — didn’t immediately respond to request for comment.
