platform-lookaside.fbsbx.com

classified as cdn · 2

This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed

We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — cdn

platform-lookaside.fbsbx.com is a Meta (Facebook) content-delivery endpoint commonly hit during Facebook Login flows to fetch user profile images via the Graph API picture endpoint, rather than a dedicated ad or analytics beacon; I cannot verify ownership beyond the well-known fbsbx.com Facebook domain from the data given. The contact is consistent with the app's declared collection of Name, Email address, User IDs and Photos for social sign-in, so nothing here implies a flow outside the label.

OpenAI — cdn

platform-lookaside.fbsbx.com is commonly used as a Facebook-hosted content delivery domain. A CDN contact alone does not establish a data flow beyond the app's broad declared collection and sharing categories.

Google Gemini — cdn

platform-lookaside.fbsbx.com is a CDN domain operated by Meta/Facebook for serving platform media and static assets. Because the app explicitly declares collecting and sharing device and user identifiers, this contact does not appear to be undisclosed.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
