How to download a copy of everything Facebook knows about you

Facebook keeps a treasure trove of information on you, which goes all the way back to when you first started to use the social network.

You can download your own archive of this information if you want to see what Facebook knows, or if you want to leave the social network and take your history with you.

It is shutting down Partner Categories, which provides audience targeting options by leveraging third-party data providers. But that will likely hit profitability.

The company will next report results on May 2 after the close. Analysts are looking for earnings of $1.38 per share on revenues of $11.4 billion.

When it last reported on January 31, earnings of $2.21 per share beat estimates by 24 cents on a 47.3% rise in revenues.

Facebook exec in 2016 internal memo defends 'ugly' growth tactics, even if people use platform for evil

Facebook executive Andrew "Boz" Bosworth defended the company's "questionable" growth tactics in the name of connecting people, in an internal memo from 2016.

He says now that he disagreed even at the time with what he wrote and CEO Mark Zuckerberg also says he "disagreed strongly" with its ideas.

Is Facebook a buying opportunity after the Cambridge Analytica scandal?

By PC Lee

SINGAPORE (Apr 3): Phillip Capital believes the Cambridge Analytica scandal has provided investors with a good opportunity to pick up Facebook (FB) at a discount.

The research house expects that the potential fallout from the scandal will be limited and unlikely to permanently damage Facebook's business model.

"We are bullish on FB due to its massive user base, digital advertising growth and valuations given FB’s growth prospects. As such, we believe that stock is undervalued and the current scandal represents a buying opportunity," says Phillip which has a US$159.79 ($209.21) entry price and US$220 target price.

FB’s share price fell drastically after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, when it was revealed that the political analytics company was able to access more than 50 million Facebook profiles without users’ permissions.

"We believe that while the news seems bad, the potential fallout and damage to FB’s intrinsic value has been blown out of proportion and that the current situation represents a buying opportunity for the social media giant," says lead analyst Ho Kang Wei in a Monday report.

In its latest quarter, FB reported its daily active users totalled about 1.40 billion users and had 2.13 billion monthly active users. More importantly, FB was able to generate about US$39.94 billion in revenue from advertising off that user base.

In terms of revenue, the average revenue per user from US was US$26.26, while the average revenue per user for Europe, Asia Pacific and others were US$8.71, US$2.52 and US$1.85 respectively.

"As the rest of the emerging markets become more affluent and companies start spending more to advertise to them, we believe that FB has great potential to further monetise its users from the rest of the world," says Ho.

According to Ho, digital ad spending is expected to continue to grow strongly, and is estimated to reach about US$375.8 billion by 2021. Assuming FB is able to maintain its 25.7% market share, this would amount to a revenue of US$96.58 billion by 2021, which represents a four-year CAGR of about 24%.

"While this is lower than FB’s past five years CAGR of 52%, it is still very high," says Ho.

FB closed at US$159.79 on Monday and trades at a forward PER of 18.95. FB’s four-year average PER is 53.64. FB’s total revenue for 2017 was US$40.65 billion and over the past five years, it has been able to grow that revenue by about 50.75% p.a.

Meanwhile, FB has been able to generate a free cash flow of US$17.483 billion for FY17 and has been able to consistently grow free cash flows too, up from US$11.62 billion in FY16 and US$7.80 billion in FY15.

In addition, FB's net margin is also very impressive at 39.20% in FY17, up from 36.97% in FY16 and 20.57% in FY15.

"Given FB’s growth prospects and very impressive financials, we believe that FB is undervalued at current prices," says Ho.

Lastly, Ho believes the US government is unlikely to pass legislation that will permanently damage FB’s ability to conduct business, as any such legislation would not only impact FB but likely all data based companies as well.

"FB may have suffered some damage with the recent boycott Facebook movement. However, we do not believe that FB has suffered much permanent damage in this regard either, as users will be hard press to find an alternative for Facebook as a social media platform in terms of scale and features," concludes Ho.

Controversy Stocks to Buy: Facebook (FB)

When it comes to controversy stocks, nothing right now is as big or worrisome as Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB). Since the close of March 16th, FB stock is down almost 14%.

Facebook users expressed outrage over their personal data being illicitly used for political purposes when Cambridge Analytica gained the private information of 50 million users. Cambridge Analytica is a political data firm hired by the Trump campaign.

For a sense of scale, the 2016 election came down to less than 80 thousand votes in key electoral states.

Since then, the outraged have cried out with the hashtag #DeleteFacebook. It’s not just everyday folks, either. Celebrities, even business leaders like Tesla Inc’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) Elon Musk – who’s dealing with his own controversy — have called for a Facebook boycott.

However, USA Today’s Jessica Guynn wrote that it’s “unlikely” that a significant number of the “never Facebook-ers” will make good on their threats.

Why would they? Despite the immediate hit to FB stock, this is the only social media firm that has two billion active subscribers. Facebook has become integral in many people’s lives.
