Facebook accused of intentionally draining the battery of users’ smartphones


A former worker at the social media site Facebook has alleged that Facebook and Messenger have the ability to intentionally drain the battery of their users’ smartphones. To do this ‘negative testing’ is used. Through this process, technology companies can secretly empty the battery of the user’s phone for testing the features of an app.

George Hayward, a former worker of Meta, the company that runs Facebook, made this shocking statement. Claim Have done George told that he had refused to do this test. He had told his manager that someone could be harmed by this. The manager’s reply was that the company can help a large number of people by harming a few. George was dismissed from the company. After this, he has filed a case against Meta in the Federal Court of Manhattan in the US. It said that Facebook users are at risk of not getting access to their phones when they need it most.

Lauer, appearing for George, said, “It is illegal and too bad that anyone can mess with my phone’s battery.” During his job at Meta, the company provided George with a training document on how to test negative. It was told in this that Meta has done such tests in the past as well. No statement has been given by Meta about this.

at the end of last year meta has fired more than two dozen of its workers and contractors for accepting bribes in exchange for giving hackers access to user accounts. Some of these workers had helped the hackers by taking bribes of thousands of dollars. In a report published in the Wall Street Journal, it was told that some of these workers had captured user accounts by wrong means. Meta, which runs Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, has data of more than 3.7 billion users and due to this the company and its users have been targeted by hackers many times. Meta said last month that it was preparing to notify about one million Facebook users that their account details had been stolen through some apps.
